https://paramountaurora.com/events/the-25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee/It’s a battle of wits as six contestants vie for the spelling bee championship of a lifetime in this hilarious musical. Everyone loves a coming-of-age tale. Combine that with the epic struggles of six underdogs competing to shine in their own sport, and you have The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee — a relatable musical that sheds a humorous light on adolescents growing up under the pressure to excel. Rife with themes of competition, identity, and alienation, it’s the perfect nostalgic comedy.
Whether you were a band kid, or a cheerleader, middle school angst is a memory everyone can relate to. Chances are you will recognize one of the six types in yourself: the perfectionist, the loner, the kid whose parents are unavailable, the imposter, the sensitive one, and the overachiever. There might only be one champion, but at what cost to all of the rest who aim to conquer?
Entertaining tunes include “I’m Not That Smart,” “Pandemonium,” “Woe Is Me” and of course, “The I Love You Song.” The catchy tunes, witty lyrics, and endearing characters create an entertaining and heartwarming theatrical experience for all, even the overachievers and spelling-challenged among us. Two-time Tony Award winner including Best Book.
Embrace your inner nerd!
