The performances were outstanding. The theater was comfortable and there is not a bad seat anywhere.

A lively, fun show. Great acting, and a nice job integrating the "scenery" into the rest of the theatre, with school-type posters in the lobby and around the back of the seating area.

I'm not fond of the theater, though. The design of the lobby and stairs causes a bottleneck when exiting, and if you're stuck on the landing, you're blinded by the lights from the lobby chandelier.

Description

book by Rachel Sheinkin, music and lyrics by William Finn
conceived by Rebecca Feldman
additional material by Jay Reiss

directed by Timothy Near This Tony® award-winning hit musical recently closed on Broadway after nearly 1,200 performances. The hilarious musical comedy celebrates the mania of competition as the funniest most lovable and sardonically nerdy contestants compete for the Spelling Bee title. Six wacky misfits with steely ambition strive to define themselves apart from their crazy families as they confront the pitfalls of puberty. The quirky mix of determined youngsters, including sheepish Leaf Coneybear, nasally challenged yet smug and confident William Barfee, and Olive Ostrovsky, a sweet, painfully shy girl whose absent mother is on a spiritual quest, discover themselves as they vie for selection in this witty and wise Broadway hit about coming of age on stage!
