25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

I had the absolute honor of being cast in NYU Steinhardt's production of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in February 2025. I was introduced to this musical my freshman year of high school, when I played viola in the pit orchestra. I always loved Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre so much, and I got to take care of her during this lovely production.

​

Directed by Errik Hood, Music Directed by Benji Goldsmith, and Choreographed by Katelyn Prominski, this production was a huge highlight of my senior year at NYU. We also had the absolute pleasure of working with Spelling Bee book writer, Rachel Sheinkin on some line rewrites, and Original Broadway Cast Music Director, Vadim Feichtner, and enjoying a talk-back with them after our final performance. The joy and love each member of the company shared throughout the process was more than inspiring. So much love and life was breathed into this hilariously heartbreaking book & score.
