BWW Review: Rivertown Theaters Presents THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
by Heidi Scheuermann - May 07, 2016
The first thing that came to my mind when I found out that Rivertown Theaters was doing SPELLING BEE was 'Oh! That's that show where Celia Keenan-Bolger wore the pink overalls!' I don't know why that's the first thing that came to mind, but it was. Maybe because I'm a fan of hers. Maybe because it reminded me for some reason of my neon blue Tweety Bird overalls I had when I was a kid (I kid you not… My mom actually let me out of the house wearing that). Maybe because those overalls reminded me of a time in life when things were simpler. Happier. Less complicated.
