EXCLUSIVE: Highlights From the Spelling Bee Original Cast Reunion Concert
The original cast of William Finn and Rachel Sheinken's musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee reunited for a one-night-only, 10th-anniversary concert performance of the musical on July 6 at Town Hall. Serving as a benefit for the Actors Fund's Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative and a tribute to the show's late original stage manager, Andrea "Spook" Testani Gordon, the evening featured stars like Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Tony winner Dan Fogler re-creating performances they created a decade ago. TheaterMania was on hand to shoot video of the show. Check out the highlights from the hilarious and emotional evening.

Why did we get no highlights from Woe is Me????
My school is doing a production of Putnam in April (with me as Barfeé), and I've always been a big fan of the show. after listening to the cast recording so many times and seeing multiple productions of this show, seeing this almost brought a god damn tear to my eye.

Obviously it’s a shame that Celia couldn’t perform. That being said, Jenni is my favorite Olive and just underrated in general so seeing her here makes my heart happy.

why couldn’t she perform?
I saw a local production of this last night. I really enjoyed it. The piece with Olive and her parents brought tears to my eyes.
I'd kill to see the OBC tbh
Great. Now I know how it ends... Everyone sings Goodbye
the fact that William bafree and Jacob Kowalski are the same person just has me shook
Nat S, Celia isn't there because she has a newborn baby. She was at the after party, though.

Craig is best known for originating the role of Marcy Park on Broadway in William Finn's Tony award winning musical, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", dir. by James Lapine. Based on her own over achieving childhood, it earned her critical acclaim, a Drama Desk Award and the distinction of creating the first Korean American character on Broadway.

I was recently cast as Olive and I'm so in love with her character! Who played Olive in this video?

all the actors in this videos are from the original cast except for Olive cause Celia Keenan- Bolger had to back out because she had a newborn baby so Olive was played by Jenni Barber. But at the end of the concert during the monologues Celia came on stage and did Olive's monologue
Im trying to find out who played the original Marcy
