In this BEE-lightful musical comedy, six young people in the throes of puberty learn that winning isn’t everything, and losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. In a tale of mirthful angst, the overachievers vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime – the one place where they can stand out and fit in – all at the same time.
Just before every performance, we will recruit 4 audience members to join the Spelling Bee to guarantee a new set of entertaining and unexpected circumstances… so start studying!
Nominated for six Tony Awards and winner Best Book of a Musical (Tony), and Outstanding Musical (Lucille Lortel), you will finally LOVE learning how to spell! Recommended for ages 10 and above.
Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International, New York, New York.
