New ‘Putnam County Spelling Bee’ Revival Promises to Heal Your Inner Misfit
From: Newsweek | Date: 11/18/2025
Even with the high concept and the improv elements, Spelling Bee is ultimately a story about kindness and empathy—not only for strangers onstage and fellow competitors, but also for yourself. Audiences will come for a silly spelling competition and the chance to test their own orthographic skills onstage, but the cast hopes they will leave with a greater understanding for their younger selves and others.
