We saw the show on June 4 and loved every minute of it. I got
to be a contestant and that was pure FUN! I loved the smaller
venue and cast. Every performer was equally talented and
some played multiple characters. I disagree that this is a
completely family-friendly show, because of the "Erection"
number. My husband and I agreed that we would not want
children ages 6-10 (old enough to understand) there. I thought
some of the "definitions" and "use in a sentence" were
hilarious--definitely took what could be a stuffy and boring
theme and made it extremely comical and clever.

AWESOME!
Went with my 17 year old daughter - she loved it - we both did! Had us crying we were laughing so hard! Absolutely hilarious. Can't wait to have the opportunity to see it again!

INTIMATE SWEET AND EDGY
I was the cellist who played the Boston run of Spelling Bee. I've
played many runs of "big hit shows" and am here to tell you the
musicans never were bored or tired of participating in this very
magical production. It was never quite the same each night, and
often came close to performance art. Funny, gorgeous score I loved
playing and talented actors who were child-like without pretence.
This show never got old in 3 months of performances. You will love
it!
Best,
Cam

WAY FUNNIER THAN I EXPECTED!!
Seeing that I saw it in Chicago and not NYC, I'll just do a review on the show. I'm a teenager who loves musicals but I didn't know if I was ready to see a bunch of nerds spell in one. I was baffled by how they preformed and loved how the whole show was put together. They stayed in character the whole time! Marcy kept a straight face through all of the funny words, Logainne's gay dads were hilarious and Will Barfée and Leaf Coneybear were both funny! The audience interaction was pretty neat! Poor Robin Alexis Childress (Olive Ostrovsky, Chicago) almost tripped over my Dad's backpack and ended up leaping over it! All of the cast members autographed my second playbill and were very nice. I would recommend any musical fan to see it!

MORE FUN THAN A REAL SPELLING BEE
A very clever and sweet show. The whole family will enjoy the experience. Clever words and tunes. Go for this original rather than a tired remake.

AWESOME SHOW!
Awesome show, absolutley histerical... very interactive and definitly something the entire family can enjoy. Younger audience members can participate and the erection song is hardly tasteless, it turns into a funny ode to the trials of puberty... most definitly worth seeing

VERY FUNNY!
This show was absolutley hilarious. Though there was no meaning or plot the humor surpassed that. The language of origin and definition parts were very funnyas well as all the songs, and the gym was cleverly designed. It was definitley a show the whole family would love.

BOO TO UNEXPECTED "ADULT" VERSION OF BEE SHOW
We had tickets for a recent Sunday evening and arrived at the theater to find many groups of parents and children huddled in bewilderment outside because when they went go in with their previously bought tickets they were met by a sign that said: "This show is for adults only". I asked what that meant and was told that the language was going to be a bit racier than usual. Although I was dismayed for those parents who had traveled far, eagerly anticipating a fun family night at the theater; we adults, no prudes, went in. None of us had seen the lauded show before and although the first 15-20 minutes were funny we all soon found ourselves bored and uncomfortable with the predictable, gratuituous, sophmoric jokes. Where were the sweet characters, the touching story we had paid to see. Buried in somebody's idea of a joke on the audience because they got bored of playing the show as it was originally presented? If I'd want burlesque,I'd pay for it. Foul play. Boooo, Who can I complain to?
