With a score by William Finn and a Tony Award-winning book by Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical that follows six quirky 12-year-olds (played by adults, by the way) in the final round of a local spelling showdown. Despite being crippled with fear at the prospect of puberty and the possibility of being asked to spell “crepuscule,” the angst-y overachievers learn that winning isn't everything, and losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.
