Broadway is coming to the City of Angels, as the original cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee reunites for a forthcoming month-long production.
The Tony Award winning musical has brought the original cast together again for it’s stint at the Wadsworth Theatre, with original direction from James Lapine, which will run from May 24 through June 17.
Spelling Bee tells the tale of six pubescent teenagers as they battle it out on stage and learn that winning isn’t everything.
It was met with critical acclaim and became an instant crowd pleaser when it opened on Broadway in 2005, where it continues to play to packed houses.
Spelling Bee’s official LA opening is scheduled for may 27.
