The Story

The history of this show is very interesting as it has grown into the full production of today. A New York bases improvisational acting group started the early work on this concept. This group called themselves "The Farm" and performed the early show under the name of CREPUSULE, actually billed as C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E. The group and show eventually grew and evolved into the current idea and called The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee which focuses on six adult actors playing the characters of younger children who are competing against each other to win the spelling bee. The story uses this idea to launch the lives of the characters and the dilemmas of their youth, such as the pressure of junior high, the awkwardness of adolescence, nosey parents trying to direct them in life and all this while being considered "The Nerds" of their social environment. The group of six seems to find peace, friendship and purpose only within the spelling bee competition. Through the show the audience truly identifies with some of the characters and may find themselves hoping for the one they relate with to win it all.

One thing which makes this show more unique then most is the factor of inviting four audience members to join in the fun. Before each show time the production gives some questions and interviews to people attending the show and picks four people to join the cast and participate in the spelling bee. This adds a nice risk factor, creates an opening for improvised humor to occur and makes each show unique and different every time. The show not only received great reviews and audience attendance but was nominated for six Tony Awards of which it won two including Best Book of a Musical and Best Features Actor in a Musical. The show became such a fast hit and won everyone so fast with nothing more then a word of mouth marketing plan that it made back 3.5 million dollar investment for production in eighteen weeks, which is very impressive to say the least.
