Music reviews of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005 Original Broadway Cast)

Music Review: Hear the music, see the play!!
Rating: 5 Stars

If this musical is playing in your area, get tickets and see it soon! I have to say it was one of the best musicals I have ever seen - so much more 'real' than Le Miz (so overblown) and more touching than Lion King. I saw it 4 times when it was in San Francisco - if you love ensemble-type theater you'll love this play.

Description of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005 Original Broadway Cast)

When was the last time you heard a musical with a truly hilarious book? Rachel Sheinkin has concocted such a thing for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, one of the most unexpected hits of 2005. Unfortunately, Sheinkin's wit is mostly lost on a cast album; fortunately, the show's songs are by the great William Finn. Set at the titular event, the musical never looks down on the competiting kids (played by adult actors), instead portraying them as endearingly nerdy but also smart, and endowing them with real personalities rather than predictably spelling-bee tics. The cast is uniformly superb, although personal faves include Sarah Saltzberg, playing Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre with a delicious lisp ("Woe Is Me"); Jesse Tyler Ferguson, bringing sweet innocence to Leaf Coneybear ("I'm Not That Smart"); and Dan Fogler, in a breakout comic performance as William Barfee ("Magic Foot," sounding like a sly tribute to Kander & Ebb). This show may be small in scale, but it's a huge winner. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
