About the Show
It’s the night of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Which nervous middle schooler will win? Stakes are high as our cast of seniors, playing sixth graders, sing and dance through the twists and turns of this exciting competition. With hilarious, touching, catchy songs, the spellers reveal all of their hopes, struggles and passions. Joshua Chase Gold, our director of My Fair Lady, Anything Goes! and Nunsense is back! Jason Tucker, from RPP’s Miracle on 34th Street and The Fantasticks, returns as musical director. This show is filled with surprises as audience members are brought onstage to compete. Who will win? For a grande night of musical fun and entertainment, you’ve got to attend the Spelling Bee. You might even be a contestant!
