Chanticleers Theatre Presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Full Price:
$24.00
Our Price:
$12.00

The quirky world of middle-school spelling competitions takes center stage in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a hilarious, Tony Award-winning musical about six awkward would-be spelling champions and their even less well-adjusted parents. Staged by award-winning director Sue Ellen Nelsen, Chanticleers Theatre's new production of this Broadway hit features a delightful cast and loads of laughs, as the musical numbers and polysyllabic words fly. Who will win -- and who will learn the valuable lesson that winning isn't everything? And can you use "capybara" in a sentence? The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee spells fun for all (though some mild references to adult topics may not be appropriate for very young audience members). Learn More

Great show with such witty zinger lines and well acted, snarky, mean behavior with all the royal family. King and Eleanor were particularly talented. Set works well for the various scenes. Highly recommend attending this classic show, and be prepared for some very funny barbs as well as intriguing stalemate situations. Well done!

Great performance of prince geoffry by Reuben Alvear, he was animated and passionate. Chris Macomber was excellent and Analisa Svenhaug was really beautiful and believable.

This was a very delightful show. I had not seen it before and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's actually quite funny, even farce-like in one scene. Many of the best lines are delivered with royal aplomb by Chris Macomber, who makes an excellent Eleanor.
