If you were a speller in the Bee...

Quick question for those who were spellers in SPELLING BEE when they saw it (the lucky few) -- where do you keep your Finalist pin? I speak of this, the pin you get for being a speller:



I'm debating what to do with mine. It's different from a signed playbill, souvenir program, or t-shirt in that it doesn't really have much display value or practical purpose.

A friend of mine sent it back to the cast a few weeks later, along with pictures of himself and the cast (so they might remember him), and lucky him, they did, and he got the entire pin signed (thin Sharpie, mind you). What to do?

I'm such a dope that I put mine on the front of a hat I bought.

Every once in a while, someone says something that makes you literally laugh or snort out loud. Thanks for doing it today.

i have all sorts of random theatre sh*t littered in my apartment. i wouldn't doubt that it would just stock pile itself along with everything else. though if i had ever gone on stage, i would probably take the back off and make it a magnet for my fridge. that'd be kind of cool...

Volley, I assume that you were refering to my post. And to that I say thanks. I enjoy harassing the idiots... I mean...

Why don't you just keep it? It's a souvenir from the show...anything like that is worth keeping.

Ooh. This just makes me want to be a speller even more. I keep my pin, from winning lotto on my purse, along with my other broadway button pin things. I'm a dork.

Mine is in my display cabinet, next to some of my autographed playbills, I did have my juice box in there too, but my mother informed me it would eventually melt and leak allover my cabinet...so THAT'S in the fridge,and after I drink it the empty carton will go next to the button...


I save everything musical related, it's sad.

Keep it, and store in some place that you wont lose it too easly. Also, can someone fully explain what happens, I haven't seen it but I have a general jeist of it.

Four of the spellers in the show are actually pulled from the audience. It makes every show fresh and exciting.

I keep all of my theatre stuff (programs, signed headshots, etc.) in a big plastic bin.

Not exactly; they have to volunteer first, and the four are culled from the larger group.

I'm planning on seeing it, do you know any way to get up? Is it just voluntering, or is it a lot harder?

If you get picked, matt, are you sure you're gonna be able to spell the words that are purposely really easy?

You'll find out when you get there.

What helped in Chicago, was that I was really outgoing, and excited about teh show, I had never seen it (I think they like newbies) and the guy was kinda flirting with me....so yeah...lol


if you are a guy, hopefully it will be a girl picking, and vice-versa :)

I've currently misplaced mine.
But...really I have no idea what to do with it, I might just keep it in a drawer next to my empty box of apple juice

Oh my God, during the interview, I lied out of my ASS.

- I said I wasn't going to pursue a major of musical theatre in college.
- I said I'd never seen the show, then followed that with a gawky, "Why, is it good?"
- I said I can laugh if they want me to and not if they don't.
- I said I've been in around three shows. I've been in almost twenty.
- I said I've got 2nd place in my 7th grade spelling bee. Please. I got, like, 8th.
- I said I had a big group coming and I came earlier with my friend. Only two of us all night. :)

Yeah, lying isn't good, but if it'll get me onstage, I'm all for it. :)

Do they ever pick people who have seen the show before?

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 7/31/06 at 1:24am

Only at adult night.

[NathanLaneStalker]

Posted: 7/31/06 at 1:25am

is there any talk about doing another adult show?
