About "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"

Tony Award-Winning Musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"

The high-stakes world of middle-school spelling competitions takes center stage, as does all kinds of pubescent angst and awkwardness, in this hit musical comedy about six overachieving would-be wordsmiths and their neurotic parents. As the tweens spell their way through a series of words, they also tell funny and touching stories from their personal lives. The hilariously catchy songs capture teenage troubles at their worst and most amusing, and the hard-fought contest teaches the valuable lesson that winning isn't the only definition of success. "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" was nominated for Best Musical and five other Tonys in its original run, winning for Best Book. Catch this fun-filled McLean Community Players production at the Vinson Hall Ballroom.
