Come see the UTAH PREMIERE production of the hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical!
You'll laugh and you'll reminisce as these 12-year-old spellers step up to the mic and share their love of language in this witty musical by Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn!
In the musical comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, 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. This hilarious tale of overacheivers' angst chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. It's a musical about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky, yet strangely 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.
This musical does contain ADULT CONTENT.
ABOUT THE AUDIENCE PARTICIPANTS:
Before every performance of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, four audience volunteers are recruited to participate on-stage as guest spellers. Each new foursome guarantees a new set of hilarious and unexpected experiences - one night is just as unique as the one before it. The willing contestants are chosen through a careful vetting process, utilizing pre-show lobby interviews.
If this audience participation interests you at all, come to the lobby of the Eccles Theatre between 7:00 and 7:30 PM the night that you are coming to see the show, and you could be a part!
