C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E



On Wednesday, as season-ticket holders, we saw our next musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It's basically about a spelling bee, and the participants are a bunch of quirky-but-loveable middle schoolers (all played by adults); whoever wins goes to Nationals. On Broadway, the show won Tonys for Best Book and Best Actor, and I loved it. It was hilarious and it was genuinely touching. One of the interesting things about the show is that in the lobby they select four audience members to participate, who go on stage and actually compete in the "bee", which gives an improvisatory aspect to the musical.
Lots of love,
Taylor

Cool! I would have loved to see this. Reminds me of Spellbound which you guys suggested to us. I'm not one to watch the same movie more than once, but I'm sure I watched Spellbound three times. Go rent Word Play ... I just mentioned it to Kelsey the other day.
