Ordway

Theater Latté Da brings to the Ordway McKnight stage a hilarious musical comedy that chronicles the experience of six adolescent overachievers vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show’s Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky, yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place on earth where they can both stand out and fit in.

Music and Lyrics by William Finn
