Following In Trousers and March of the Falsettos, it is the third in a trio of one-act musicals centering on Marvin, his wife Trina, his psychiatrist Mendel, his son Jason, and his gay lover Whizzer Brown. In this chapter of Marvin's life, Jason is preparing for his bar mitzvah and Whizzer is suffering from a mysterious, life-threatening, as yet undefined illness, which the audience recognizes is AIDS.

The cast included Michael Rupert, Faith Prince, Stephen Bogardus, Chip Zien (later replaced by Lonny Price), and Heather MacRae.
Résumé: Marvin leaves his wife and young son for his male lover, while his psychiatrist moves in with his wife, At the end he is left with nothing except the possibility of a relationship with his son who is terrified of growing up just like Dad.

Genèse: Spelling Bee was workshopped and developed at the Barrington Stage Company (BSC), Massachusetts, where Julianne Boyd is the Artistic Director, in two different stages. In February 2004, a workshop was done in which a first act and parts of a second act were created – this stage of the process was directed by Michael Barakiva and Feldman. The script was fleshed out and the show was given a fuller production in July 2004, directed by Feldman and Michael Unger. Dan Knechtges choreographed the workshop, summer productions, and the Broadway production. Dana Harrel produced both productions as the Producer of Stage II at BSC. Several cast members, Dan Fogler, Jay Reiss, and Sarah Saltzberg remained from C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E. Robb Sapp (later replaced by Jose Llana when Sapp moved on to Wicked), Dashiell Eaves (replaced by Derrick Baskin), Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Celia Keenan-Bolger (joined as Olive Ostrovsky in the summer), Lisa Howard, and Deborah S. Craig were added to the cast, and a full script was created. The musical moved Off-Broadway to the Second Stage Theatre, opening on January 11, 2005 in previews, officially on February 7, 2005, and closed on March 20, 2005,[2] where it enjoyed critical and box-office success. Spelling Bee premiered on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre on April 15, 2005 and closed on January 20, 2008 after 1,136 performances.[3] The director was James Lapine and the choreographer Dan Knechtges. The show won Tony Awards for Best Book (Rachel Sheinkin) and Best Featured Actor (Dan Fogler).
Résumé: The annual Spelling Bee competition in Putnam County is co-hosted by smarmy quizmaster and Vice-Principal, Douglas Panch and his vivacious honey-blonde “assistant”, Rona Perretti. Also in attendance is a “Comfort Counsellor” in case any of the teenagers cannot cope with being eliminated from the competition. The six finalists are: Logainne Schwarzangrubenniere, who suffers a speech impediment and is invariably given words like “cystitis” and “sluices” (she is also the child of two gay Dads, hence her extended surname); loathsome know-it-all William Barfee, who spells his words using a “magic foot” technique, and comes to grief when his shoe sticks to the floor; poor Olive Ostrovsky whose mum has gone off to an ashram and whose Dad hasn’t turned up to watch, leaving her to create her own fantasy world of parental support; over-achieving Marcy Park who speaks six languages and isn’t allowed to cry; Chip Tolentino who loses concentration due to his erection every time he sees a girl in the audience; and Leaf Coneybear, who was the second runner-up in his school, but the two students ahead of him are unable to attend because the competition clashes with a Bat Mitzvah. Despite a series of comical mishaps and over-eager parental interference, the competition finally comes to a satisfactory conclusion.

Résumé: During a period when so many musical theater composers have been trying to emulate Stephen Sondheim, along comes the iconoclastic William Finn who not only marches to the beat of a different drummer, he provides the beat, as well. His rhythms, not to mention his melodies and lyrics, are so unique that you can identify them in an instant. Now, there is a new revue of his work called Make Me a Song.
