The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee -
Repeats weekly until 08/22/10

This adorable tale of six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, will have audiences in stitches. The show's Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes for whom a spelling bee is the one place they can stand out and fit in at the same time. This charming group of misfits and outsiders learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Spelling Bee is a light-hearted, feel-good show that prompts such easy to spell adjectives as charming, sweet, endearing and quirky.
