If you're in NYC, go see Spelling Bee at New World Stages. Jasmine Amy Rogers is a STAR and the show is so full of heart (and I think has the funniest book of a musical, maybe ever). I HOPE IT RUNS OFF BROADWAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE spellingbeenyc.com?utm_source=g...
SPELLING BEE | Official Site
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the buzziest musical in NYC. Buy your tickets today and see it at New World Stages starting November 7.
