The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Tuesday June 11–Saturday June 15
£10.00 – £17.00A cartoonish, eclectic group of six overachieving mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.
While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words. Each hope to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake, and the overstated feeling of failure that resonates with overachievers everywhere. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Complete with an engaging, tuneful score by William Finn and a sweet, funny book by Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee causes audiences to fall in love, both with the show itself and its “perspicacious”, “jocular” and “effervescent” spellers.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm.
Tickets – £10.00 to £17.00.
