Six spellers. One bee. A million laughs (and maybe a few tears).

This hit Broadway musical is a wildly funny, unexpectedly moving look at the inner lives of quirky kids under pressure—with a twist: audience members are invited to join the competition on stage! As these lovable misfits battle nerves, hormones, and the dictionary, their stories unfold through unforgettable songs and hilarious moments that will have you laughing one minute and clutching your heart the next. Whether you were the overachiever or the underdog, Spelling Bee will take you back—and lift you up.

Directed by Nancy Matican-Bock, known for championing original works and fresh voices, this Bee will buzz with unexpected humor and big ensemble charm.
