Playhouse on the Square, 51 South Cooper Street
This hilarious tale of overachiever's angst chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. Overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, these spellers learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Nominated for 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this charming show is "an ingenious blend of simplicity and sophistication." - Wall Street Journal.
