The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a one-act musical comedy conceived by Rebecca Feldman with music and lyrics by William Finn, a book by Rachel Sheinkin and additional material by Jay Reiss. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups.

You don't want to miss this uproarious comedy. Terrence McNally is a great writer and he has hit the ball out of the park with this one! Rated R for adult situations and language, but don't let that keep you away.
