Description:

From www.WinnipegFringe.com: In this hilarious and clever Tony Award-winning musical, six adolescent outsiders in the throes of puberty learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Spelling Bee is quirky, unexpected and full of grown-up g-o-o-f-i-n-e-s-s. From the creative team that brought you the sold-out, smash-hit productions Hair and Altar Boyz. Directed by Kayla Gordon www.spellingbeewinnipeg.com Warnings: Mild Language RECOMMENDED: General Audience 105 min

Your Review A very good strong and well acted performance by all. No superstars, and script was nicely and evenly spread. Venue was well suited, lighting good, and so was the overall sound. I know a few cast members personally and they out preformed themselves.. Fantastic night out.

Your Review I would definitely recommend this show to all Fringers. This is a talented group of actors whose delivery of the script is flawless! The music is complex with demanding harmonies that are performed beautifully. Every move and set change is choreographed and carried out precisely. Loved the band too - what a nice touch. BRAVO!!!!

Your Review It was a wonderful show from start to finish, hilarious improv work along with a funny script and peppy songs! A little bit of dirty humour for the adult crowd, but ends with a touching message. I highly recommend seeing it if you can...go early!!!

Your Review I absolutely adored Spelling Bee! I have already bought advanced tickets to another show! DO NOT MISS THIS AT THE WINNIPEG FRINGE. The vocals and music really shine through. Personal favourites include: Magic Foot and The I Love You Song. Congratulations Winnipeg Studio Theatre and Stage 16.

Your Review The acting was fun and solid. The script took you all over the place, with "Pandamonium" sometimes overtaking the entire venue and making you feel completely lost in a fanciful world.

Your Review This is a show I will see many more times if I can get tickets. You can not single out one person for their performance as the whole cast is truly amazing. What talent! Loved that audience members were able to participate. Best fringe show by far. Still laughing and singing.
