Any guesses? I’ve read Kevin McHale and Bonnie Milligan elsewhere but am terrible with emoji clues.

Probably Philippe Arroyo for the & Juliet page, someone online suggested Justin Cooley also from Kimberkly Akimbo from that last slide. The one that looks like Back to the Future could also be Merrily? Long shot, but Beanie is in the movie version of that. Because it looks like a lot of that Kennedy Center cast.

Ive heard some of the cast from DC is transferring so they both make sense. And besides what looks like a Back To The Future chain of emojis (?), I got nothing.

Nina White is surely going to be busy with Queen of Versailles, so it must be a new Olive.

Corey Mach who is currently Shakespeare on the national tour of &Juliet announced his departure a few weeks ago. He was also in Merrily. Could he be someone joining?

I really do hope Beanie and Noah are part of this.
Posted: 7/17/25 at 2:45pm
The Kimberly Akimbo reference is someone in addition to Bonnie who hasn’t been mentioned yet. It’s not Nina.

I’d heard Bonnie and Beanie were not continuing with this, but not sure how accurate that is.

Or is it The Notebook…

Ohhhh sh*t! Yes! Because no one notable from BTTF is free at the moment.

Second one might be Leana Rae Concepcion from Merrily. She was Marcy Park at the Kennedy Center and she follows the Spelling Bee account on IG.

I honestly forgot Anna Zavelson dropped out of Spelling Bee at the Kennedy Center. This is definitely the answer!
Posted: 7/17/25 at 7:45pm
Anna Zavelson is doing Masquerade.
Fairly certain the names hinted at are Kevin McHale, Leana Rae Concepcion, Philippe Arroyo, and someone from Kimberly Akimbo.
Posted: 7/17/25 at 7:46pm
Also have heard that Bonnie is continuing with the production along with Noah Galvin. Beanie is not.
Posted: 7/17/25 at 7:47pm
I hope Justin Cooley is involved, he is wonderful.
Posted: 7/17/25 at 10:24pm
According to a message board for actors, the roles that were not cast as of a couple weeks ago were Mitch, Olive, and Logainne… I would imagine the others are all transferring from Kennedy Center.

If you click on the article, it lists a few other cast members. Happy Justin Cooley is part of it. He’ll be perfect.
Posted: 7/23/25 at 9:34am
Wonder if they’ll try to cast any stars in this or if it will be theatre folk like the four announced today. LITTLE SHOP (a more famous title than this) survived on stars, and TITANIQUE survived on IP.

Does anyone have the promo code for Spelling Bee?

Presale starts tomorrow at 11am, nobody has the code yet. Sign up on their website to receive it.
Posted: 7/23/25 at 10:04am
Okay, I’ll say it.
This cast is a total snooze. I bet Cooley will be great, but he will sell approximately one ticket. At a discount.
