The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Donmar Warehouse, Earlham Street, LondonThe Donmar Warehouse presents the UK premiere of the Tony Award-winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Only those blessed with an extraordinary ability and love of language qualify for the Putnam County Spelling Bee. But there can only be one winner and with a place in the national final at stake, emotions run high, hopes are quashed and dreams are broken.
William Finn (Falsettoland) and Rachel Sheinkin's riotous musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will have you cachinnating in your seat.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is directed by Jamie Lloyd, an associate director at the Donmar Warehouse where his previous productions have included the award-winning Piaf, which transferred the West End, Polar Bears and Sondheim's 80th birthday production of Passion.
