Hi all, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm seeing Spelling Bee in Chicago on the 29th, and was just wondering if there was an age limit of the people chosen to go onstage.. and any helpful hints from people who did get the chance. (I know it probably most likely won't happen... but it's worth a shot) Thanks.
I saw a little girl in boston who couldn't be older than 7
"In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."
Also- to add to the people who always say hints about what to wear (jeans, all black, funky clothes, etc)- One of the best things about this show is that Rona Lisa Peretti and Panch come up with brand new things to say every single show. They don't pick the same type of look for the shows, because then it wouldn't be different and creative. I love hearing what they come up with, some of the new sentences have been great. This past friday, a sentence about a proctologist caused the rest of the cast on the bleachers to break character and start laughing hysterically.
there is no age limit. when i went, there was a really diverse group of people (age wise) chosen, and the youngest girl lasted the longest. she was probably 9 or 10! they usually pick people who are really easy to make fun of. enjoy the show!
yeah, when I saw it there was a girl with a skirt that had lots of creases in it. And Rhonda said "if Laury wins the bee, her mother will start to Iron her clothes" I laughed so hard i almost peed.
