Tyler Michaels King, who received his professional start on the Schneider Theater stage, returns to direct this charming and wildly funny story where spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isn’t everything. Tyler is joined by music director Raymond Berg and choreographer Stephanie Anne Bertumen,. 

“Spelling Bee has a unique combination of humor and heart,” says Tyler Michaels King. “It’s the kind of show that sneaks up on you— you’re laughing one minute then crying the next, and you’re not quite sure why. The fun gives way to feeling. It’s these types of shows I gravitate to most.”
