A famous play about 12-year-olds and their particular penchant for spelling is set to hit Sydney come November. Competitive spirits, consonants and vowels are all sure to mix into a blissfully raucous performance.
Having started off-Broadway in 2005, it didn’t take long for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Beeto take Broadway and then the world by storm.
The production, wherever it has played in the world, has captivated audiences with its touching, relentlessly funny and infectious traits. As the spelling bee progresses, the audience is made privy to the hopes, dreams and trembling fears of each contestant who is keen to win for very different reasons.
The Vic Theatre Company in association with the Hayes Theatre Company is set to bring its experience, maturity and quirky perspective to a play that is likely to make avid fans of Sydneysiders, young and old alike.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and its eclectic and quirky contestants are to hit Hayes Theatre Co. from Thursday November 17 until Sunday December 18.
