Award-winning Foothill Music Theatre presents
The 2005 Tony Award-winning Musical Comedy Smash!

Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinken

Multi-award winning Foothill Music Theatre presents the lovably loopy musical THE 25^TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, a riotous tribute to geekdom, where each youthful contestant expounds on the trials and tribulations of being a really, really good speller through hilarious and candid confessionals.  A spunky, irresistible production riddled with improvisation, audience participation, and sunny, clever musical numbers, SPELLING BEE finally gives nerds, oddballs, and those picked last for kickball the limelight they so richly deserve.

“GREAT NEWS!  The American Musical Comedy – with equal emphasis on ‘musical” and ‘comedy – is alive and well! ” – Theatremania

“Irresistible, riotously funny and remarkably ingenious! Effortlessly endearing! Gold stars all round!” – New York Times
