BROADWAY SMASH HIT!
book by Rachel Sheinkin, music and lyrics by William Finn
conceived by Rebecca Feldman
additional material by Jay Reiss

This Tony® award-winning hit musical recently closed on Broadway after nearly 1,200 performances. The hilarious musical comedy celebrates the mania of competition as the funniest most lovable and sardonically nerdy contestants compete for the Spelling Bee title. Six wacky misfits with steely ambition strive to define themselves apart from their crazy families as they confront the pitfalls of puberty. The quirky mix of determined youngsters, including sheepish Leaf Coneybear, nasally challenged yet smug and confident William Barfee, and Olive Ostrovsky, a sweet, painfully shy girl whose absent mother is on a spiritual quest, discover themselves as they vie for selection in this witty and wise Broadway hit about coming of age on stage!
Originally produced on Broadway by David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman, Patrick Catullo, Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage Theatre.
