	SPELLING BEE Reviews
		"Spelling Bee" is the product of tremendously smart minds who have created characters that are fully dimensional and distinctly individual in ways that go well beyond their idiosyncratic methods for arriving at the correct spelling of a word.
		It's not sung through and, though Spelling Bee puts a fair amount of youthful vulnerability on stage (whoever said being twelve is all angst-free fun?) this is essentially a light-hearted, feel-good show that prompts such easy to spell adjectives as charming, sweet, endearing and quirky.
		The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is indeed something of a cross between Avenue Q and The Fantasticks which was an Off-Off-Broadway staple for nearly half a century.

		It was in July 1874 that I’ve found the term spelling bee appearing for the first time, in a report of a school event in Brooklyn in which a pupil recites The Spelling Bee by Nellie Watkins as an elocution exercise.

		The 2007 National Senior Spelling Bee is planned for Saturday, June 16, 2007 in Cheyenne, Wyo. The Bee is a fun, yet challenging event, open to anyone age 50 or older except previous winners.

		Newman said she and the district's elementary school principals made a unanimous decision to cancel their local competition shortly after the January 2004 event, agreeing that a spelling bee does not meet the criteria of all children reaching high standards, the Woonsocket paper said.
