The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a Tony Award–winning musical comedy exploring the oft-overlooked world of enthusiastic word wranglers. The show is peppered with quirkily layered characters and poignant ponderings from both the precocious bee participants and the sometimes-bewildered adults who oversee them. The ode to organized letter structure recruits four audience volunteers culled from pre-show questionnaires and lobby rafter trust falls to serve as guest spellers, illuminating the improvisational skills of the performers and guaranteeing a unique viewing experience every time.
