A new musical conceived by Rebecca Feldman. Six young people on the edge of puberty strive to become adults, competing in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. These outsiders use competition to define themselves, apart from their families, while their struggle to escape childhood is overseen by grown-ups who never completely succeeded in escaping it themselves.
