THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

---

Feb 18, 2026 - Mar 29, 2026

An eclectic group of six awkward spelling champions vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion. This wildly funny Broadway Musical is a riotous ride, complete with audience participation!

Music & Lyrics by William Finn; Book by Rachel Sheinkin; Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
