More information about The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin's winning, high-energy musical has been staged all over the country: in theaters, but also in schools and assembly halls where actual spelling bees may take place. Now, it returns to New York on the 20th anniversary of its Broadway bow. That premiere was an auspicious one, making stars of original cast members Celia Keenan-Bolger and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The theatre legend James Lapine directed, and Sheinkin won a Tony Award for her smart, engaging, and hilarious book.
This revival, directed and choreographed by Danny Mefford, follows Mefford's star-studded production at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC from last year. That production featured Bonnie Milligan, Noah Galvin, Beanie Feldstein, and others. Also back from the Kennedy Center run will be costume designer Emily Rebholz, lighting designer David Weiner, and sound designer Haley Parcher. New for the Off-Broadway creative team will be scenic designer Teresa L. Williams
