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.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of
 six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative
 team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of out
siders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
