"THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE" is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

Auditioners must be between ages 16 - 21 and should come prepared to sing 16 bars of a song that showcases their range and talents. Please bring the sheet music for this song to your scheduled appointment on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010. You may also be asked to sing part of a song from "Spelling Bee" that you feel suits you. Please be sure to bring your own interpretation of that character to the piece rather than one that you may have already seen or heard. The show will be performed at The Orpheum Theatre in Foxboro, Ma from July 22 - 25, 2010.
