SEASON TICKETS ON SALE APRIL 3. ALL OTHER TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE APRIL 14. PLEASE CHECK BACK.

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
