JOCULAR THEATRE PRESENTS
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
The H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S musical comedy
Break
out your dictionaries! Barcelona's premier English-language theater company, Jocular Theatre, is back with the Tony
Award-winning musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The hilariously heart-warming
production with music and lyrics by William Finn and book by Rachel Sheinkin is
presented at the North American Institute for two weeks this spring.
Described
in the Washington Post as the “funniest thing on 7
consonants”, Spelling Bee is set in Putnam Valley Middle
School in Anywhere, USA and revolves around six vibrant, hopeful misfits as
they vie for the prize of best speller. Negotiating prepubescent pressures and
the grueling determination of their competitors, the children sing and spell
their way to discovering that there's more to life than winning, and that
losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.
Overseen
by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, our young
spellers invite four members from the audience (strictly voluntary) to
participate in each performance, ensuring new and unexpected comedy every night
in what the show's composer describes as “survivor for nerds.”
This
production is Jocular's 15th here in Barcelona and promises to put another stitch in your side with
the company’s trademark non-stop onstage action, larger than life
characterizations, and the added bonus of a top-notch live orchestra. Director
Joshua Zamrycki returns with his 3rd musical and gives a nerd's eye view of the wonderfully traumatic yet
unavoidably touching road to adolescence. Orchestra Director Mark Bahamonde and
Vocal Directors Ella Galt and Fiona Allan give life to a jubilant score, while
Choreographer Jade Cintron creates an affectionate tribute to the adorably
awkward world of a twelve year old.
Leave
your expectations at the door because you've never been to a spelling bee quite
like this one. There will be mayhem, there will be triumph, and someone will
karate-chop a piece of wood in half. Don't miss out on the extravaganza that The New York Times described as “irresistible,
riotously funny and remarkably ingenious” in its Barcelona premiere. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee opens May 30th at the Fundació Institut d’Estudis
Nord-Americans and runs for two weeks.
