It’s not often that a high school level musical can capture an audience and keep them humored the whole time through, but that is exactly what the Magnolia West Theatre department proved to be capable of Friday night with their showing of ‘25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’.

This musical takes place at an elementary school spelling bee. The actors and actresses fully embodied their juvenile characters to create an adorable show.

The cast’s improv skills helped them sail through the technical difficulties flawlessly. Because of an extensive knowledge of their character combined with quick wit, they never missed a beat, producing a must-see show.
