Teen Angst Spells Fun in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Elite Theatre (Oxnard, CA)
The high-stakes world of middle school spelling competitions takes center stage in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. This hit musical comedy follows six overachieving would-be wordsmiths (played by adults) and their neurotic parents, using hilarious original songs like “Woe Is Me” and “Chip’s Lament” to portray teen troubles at their worst. With music and lyrics by William Finn and book by Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was nominated for Best Musical and five other Tony Awards in its original run, winning two, including Best Book. Each performance of this quirky Elite Theatre Company production will also feature audience volunteers invited to join the actors on stage and compete in the Bee, making each show a unique experience.
