“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” has charmed audiences its wit and humor.

Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book, and a truly fresh and musical vibrant score, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

Putnam Valley Middle School is having its annual spelling bee and a quirky collection of six pre-teens have made it to the finals. The bee, run by equally quirky adults, finds the young participants sharing stories of their lives while spelling their way through the words on the road to that championship title.

Winner of the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is a delightful musical, complete with audience participation and is sure to tickle your “humerus” and get you ready for the holiday season.

This show contains mild adult language and themes.
