Stage Preview: 'Putnam County Spelling Bee' has help from audience

Post Gazette: "In the touring musical, which stops this week at Heinz Hall as part of the PNC Broadway Across America series, six young people flush with pubescent hyperactivity compete in a spelling bee overseen by a sometimes childish teacher, and they discover that winning isn't everything and losing isn't necessarily as bad as it sounds. Early in the show, which won Rachel Scheinkin the 2005 Tony for best book of a musical, several members of the audience are brought on stage to participate in unscripted portions."
