A hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy that follows six quirky tweens competing for the spelling championship of a lifetime. As they face off with tricky (and occasionally made-up) words, they reveal funny, awkward, and touching stories from their personal lives. With fast-paced fun, audience participation, and a whole lot of heart, this show is a celebration of growing up, embracing individuality, and finding victory in unexpected places—even if you leave with just a juice box.
