“If you like strange people, you will find I am beautiful”. This is a part of lyrics from my favorite song, which tells a sad love story. This Wednesday, I watched a fantastic musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups. This show not only has good characters or actors, but also has excellent musical team, so this is an excellent show.
First of all, the characters are all distinct, this makes this musical interesting and meaningful. My favorite spellers are Leaf, William. They all have their own unique way to live and spell words. For example, Leaf shows up with a pair of pants with mends, a helmet, and a cloak. When he spells words, he yells the words and letters. He seems like a confident boy, but actually he is humbled. He has been told that he was not smart for years. In my opinion, the most important reason of why he joins this competition is that he wants to prove himself. This character makes the show not only interesting, but also significant. William is an arrogant boy, and he spells words by his feet. Before he says the letters aloud, he must use his feet to spell words on the ground. At first, I think this character is so funny, after watching this whole musical, I find this character expresses the main idea. Every character develops during this competition, so does William. In the beginning of the show, he behaves so arrogant, and he seems to be angry all the time. He hardly talks to other spellers, except irony. Even when Olive tries to help him, he refused and pushed Olive. However, in the last few scenes, many things happen, and he changes a lot. Logainne’s father pour some coke on the ground, which means he cannot use his feet to spell words anymore. He is anxious; however, he tries to spell words without his feet, and he succeeds. At last, he becomes more happy and appreciates everything he receives; he even dances with Olive. In my opinion, these two characters are kind of similar; however they both look funny, but they both develop during this competition, which makes this whole show not only interesting but also significant.
Besides distinct characters, good music was the icing on the cake. The musical team works fantastic. This show is musical, so music is necessary. During this musical, I can hear numerous instruments. Several of my friends are performers, and they work so hard that they hardly show up in the dining hall on time. As a result, they make an extremely fantastic show; they express the emotions perfectly. For example, the most impressive scene is when four spellers spell words together, and the music is tensive and intense. The beat of drums is with a sound of pianos or keyboards. Good music makes the plots even the entire drama more impressive, and our musical team does it. Music is the most important part of a musical, so good music was the icing on a cupcake; a cupcake cannot stand alone without icing, and music makes the musical perfect.
In conclusion, this is the most interesting show I have seen in the past one year. I recommend it to all of my friends. In addition, a good book, few distinct characters, professional actors, and fantastic musical band make an excellent show, which is The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
