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

These outsiders use competition to define themselves, apart from their crazy families, while their struggle to escape childhood is overseen by grown-ups who never completely succeeded in escaping it themselves. Jennifer Simard & Mo Rocca in SPELLING BEE The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was nominated for six 2005 Tony Awards and won two, for librettist Rachel Sheinkin's laugh-filled book and for the performance of Dan Fogler as an overweight speller ble...The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee tour dates and bio
