they made my lifelong dream of being a speller a reality! if only i knew how to spell kinnikinick. but the hi-c was more than a consolation prize, it was the sweet end to a good run.

cast was awesome. it was an intimate venue where the audience feels involved in the musical, not just because of the audience participation, but because it was directed and set up that way. i've seen othe bee productions in bigger venues and although music wise, they were better, this one is by far my fave!

Description

Ready to have some F-U-N? Then come to the Costa Mesa Playhouse this fall when the theater presents the hit Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Music & Lyrics are by William Finn, with a book by Rachel Sheinkin. The play is directed by David Anthony Blair with musical direction of Stephen Hulsey.

This charming Tony Award-winning one-act musical celebrates the triumph of doing the best you can. Six nerdy teenagers from Putnam Valley Middle School, in the midst of adolescent angst, discover themselves while struggling to win the school’s spelling bee, run by three equally-quirky grownups.

The Broadway production opened in April 2005 at New York’s Circle in the Square Theater, where it is still playing. An unusual aspect of the show is that four real audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters.
