THE
25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Six young people in the throws
of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape
childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything
and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. This
tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show is riotously
funny and remarkably ingenious. A Broadway hit from the 2005-2008
seasons.
