I am in LOVE with this hilarious show. It is just pure fun!
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise
I saw Spelling Bee a couple of weeks ago in Ashland Oregon at a little cabaret theatre in an old church. www.oregoncabaret.com It plays through August. It was terrific. All the contestants are students at the university in Ashland. Some Broadway actors got their start in this little theatre including Megan Hilty. If you live anywhere near Ashland, it's worth seeing. I've now seen the show four times in four different cities with four different casts. And every time I have a new favorite character. This time it was Marcy.
