SPELLING BEE Now Playing at Cyrano's Off-Center Playhouse Thru 8/27
By: Caryn Robbins Jul. 26, 2011
What happens when six quirky, overachieving students compete in the county spelling bee run by three totally outrageous grown-ups? You get the craziest event Putnam County has ever seen. THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is now playing at Cyrano's Off-Center Playhouse through August 27, 2011.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Book and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book.
This is a wonderful romp, a quick-paced musical delight that will leave more than just a smile on your face. Spelling Bee offers more than one-dimensional song-and-dance, revealing recognizable foibles in each of its characters as the story line unfolds. This show should be on your summertime to-do list.
