Family of four. Long Island residents. Kids age 14 and 11
"It’s Off-Broadway, so you’re not in one of the classic, iconic theaters, and the audience is smaller. But it’s a great show that truly entertains both kids and parents. It runs about two hours with no intermission, which makes the timing very manageable. Funny, great singing, and a quality set as well."

A must see, hilarious and talented cast
"This was an amazing show. Saw with my 21 year old son, who is a theatre student and has been acting since 3rd grade. His university recently performed the show this past winter in Florida, where he played the part of Chip, so I was familiar with and already loved the show. These actors were perfectly cast, performed flawlessly, with some scripting adapted to performance and audience. I was laughing and cackling so hard during many scenes. Go see this, you will not be disappointed, I promise!"

Great cast!
"The kids are the stars but this show had 3 standout adult character as well, especially Mitch Mahoney with the comedic timing and powerful singing voice. It’s still one of my all time favorite musicals with the best musical numbers."

Didn’t Stop Laughing for 2 Hours
"We didn’t stop laughing for 2 hours, except during some of the songs that really made us feel for the characters. The adults portraying the kids hit all the right expressions, tones and body language, and the adult characters were equally spit-on. See this gem before it’s limited run ends!"

Hilarious show. Great acting. Super fun!
"A blast of a show. Good for tweens and teens as there are a few sexual references but overall just a great experience and super funny!"

Amazing - laugh riot
"I never write reviewed but this was the best play I have had the pleasure of seeing. It was so funny and each actor deserves an award. They truly transform you into a school gym and make you part of the bee. The surprise spellers were fantastic and it was so fun! I would recommend this to anyone. "

Entertaining from start to finish. I found it amusing.
"I liked the acting and the voices of all of the characters. I guess that I found the musical to be in some respects "silly," however, it did include some serious moments."

Musical reality show
"I had heard about this show and was looking forward to it. The cast was excellent, but the show itself is very disappointing. It really is just a high school spelling bee with stereotyped characters, no plot and very predictable. "
