About The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Six young people on the edge of puberty strive to become adults in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee--the funny, tender, sardonic musical by the composer of Falsettos. These outsiders use competition to define themselves, apart from their crazy families, while their struggle to escape childhood is overseen by grown-ups who never completely succeeded in escaping it themselves.
[IMG:L]The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was nominated for six 2005 Tony Awards and won two, for librettist Rachel Sheinkin's laugh-filled book and for the performance of Dan Fogler as an overweight speller blessed with a magic foot.
