Last night’s rehearsal was PANDEMONIUM!

It’s an ensemble song where the contestants vent their frustrations at how unfair the competition seems to be - and something of a metaphor for how they feel hitting puberty. Whether they’re in the Bee or out of it, there doesn’t seem any rhyme or reason to who wins or loses. Life is pandemonium.

Catch their collective struggles at KES this October. Ticket details below.

Remember filling the Theatre Royal Bath for Joseph in April? Remember how fun the show was, and how talented the cast were?

Same fun. Same talent. New show. New theatre!

Come and see the equally joyous and entertaining musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The Bee explores the complications of being confused hormonal teenagers who just happen to be highly competitive spelling geniuses too… and there might be a few surprise contestants too.
