A wildly hilarious take on adolescence, parenting, teachers and the P-A-N-D-E-M-O-N-I-U-M of the world of competitive spelling bees. Centered around a very eclectic group of six mid-pubescent teens, the show effortlessly weaves its way through the motivations and hopes of each competitor as they vie to take home the spelling championship of a lifetime! But which speller will avoid the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming 'ding' of the bell that signals the end of their time in the competition?

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, this musical comedy has charmed audiences across the globe. With its fast-paced wit and vibrant score, this is an unforgettable and unexpectedly heart-warming experience that proves that winning isn't everything and losing doesn't make you a loser.
