An instant sensation on Broadway, the 2010 Season kicks-off June 9th through June 26th with The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a quirky musical comedy about a charming cast of outsiders for whom the spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out, yet fit in, all at the same time. Journey through the hallowed halls of middle school for a hilarious talke of overachievers' angst as six winsome adolescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime while stepping forward to adulthood. In one word it's I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-I-B-L-E!
