Tuesday night marked only the third time I've seen SPELLING BEE, and the first time I've seen it in at least two years.
Since the entire original cast is currently been reunited for the musical's LA premiere, I saw an entirely different set of actors this time around.
I think the show continues to have a really positive, upbeat impact within the midst of a pretty smart, integrated musical. I dont know how much longer it intends to run on Broadway, but it's one of very few shows to work economically in the Circle in the Square space. METAMORPHASES also broke even, but was kicked out of the theater by its owners under some very unusual circumstances.
I will be interviewing the comedian Mo Rocca, who is now playing the Vice Principle, and that will run in AM NEW YORK on Friday.
