Foothill Music Theatre auditions for The 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

In this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud show, this bee is an unforgettable experience as an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee features a wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn. PLUS, at every performance, 4 guest spellers from the audience will be called up to jump in, spell it out, and compete in the Bee — you never know who will shine and who will stumble! Will you qualify? A fun and funny ride, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced D-E-L-I-G-H-T.

The New York Times says “Can you spell irresistible?” and “entirely adorable new musical”
