What can you really learn from a spelling bee?  If we’re talking about William Finn’s musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee, plenty.

Socially awkward though they may be Olive, William, Marcy and all the rest are a reflexion of ourselves.  Feeling the pressure to please, knowing the sadness of being alone, living for once and future glory, second chances and compassion.

Where you are hooked on phonics or not, you will be hooked on the lives and stories of the competitors in the 25th annual spelling bee.
