The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (29 recordings)

Master's notes: Clear audio recorded from the second row; laughter occasionally overpowers the dialogue. The guest spellers were Cobie Smulders, Carla Hall, and two other audience members. Do not post on any platform (TikTok, Tumblr, YouTube, Reddit, etc.). Please list as bobbyskazoo’s master. Feel free to trade as normal; never to be gifted or sold.

Master's notes: The precursor to the current off-Broadway revival at KenCen, back when respectable people still set foot in that building. Bonnie was easily the best Rona I’ve ever seen. Funny, sassy, and a killer belt. Chef Carla Hall is a guest speller.

Master's notes: David was excellent as Barfee! Folder contains both the tracked and untracked audios. The tracked one might be a little wonky due to the nature of the show, but I tried my darndest.

Master's notes: First preview! Clear audio recorded from mid-orchestra. The usual first preview enthusiast audience that sometimes overpowers the recording. Do not post on any platform (TikTok, Tumblr, YouTube, Reddit, etc.). Please list as bobbyskazoo’s master. Feel free to trade as normal; never to be gifted or sold.

Master's notes: Preview performance. Recorded from front orchestra. Occasional shuffling and a lot of laughter.

Master's notes: One of the guest spellers was Nick Offerman!

Master's notes: This show is just so much fun. Recorded from left orchestra. Includes a photo of the cast board.

Master's notes: Occasional shuffling and loud laughter. Very responsive and enthusiastic audience.

Master's notes: Not my best audio... when the audience reacts they drown out whats happening on the stage but always fun to see just how into the show the crowd was!!

Master's notes: Recorded from right orchestra. Iain Armitage was a guest speller and got a few Young Sheldon-related words. He also was sitting fairly close to me and has quite a loud laugh, so if you ever hear loud male laughter in the second half, chances are it is him.

Master's notes: Excellent audio from front-ish orchestra. Wild show with a couple of mishaps (e.g. Cecilia having to run off-stage right after the opening number, clipboards being where they weren't supposed to be) and some very funny ad-libs (Sid from Toy Story and a Ragtime reference). Zip file includes tracked and untracked .mp3 files. Please do not post/gift/freely share this audio or any clips anywhere, including but not limited to YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, Vimeo, TikTok, or any other places online. This audio is never to be sold.

Master's notes: Occasional shuffling particularly at the beginning. Lots of laughter.

Master's notes: Recorded from right orchestra. I was fairly close to the door where the cast was making entrances and exits, so some of that comes through (via footsteps, the door slamming, and Autumn as Logainne sobbing profusely as she makes her exit). Also my seat neighbor decided to work his way through an entire sleeve of crackers during the show, so apologies if any of that crinkling is picked up.

Master's notes: Pretty clear recording from the fourth row. Some occasional rustling and talking (there was a literal 4-5 year old next to me…??), but nothing too major. Very reactive audience, lots of laughing and applause throughout. INCREDIBLY funny show. Includes a curtain call video. Never to be gifted.

Master's notes: Hilarious show! One of the guest spellers had a sling, which was referenced by Rona saying her favorite musical is Dear Evan Hansen which caused some extra laughter. Another guest speller named Mr. Scooby who was also dressed similar to Shaggy got a lot of Scooby Doo related jokes lol.

Master's notes: Decent audio recorded from mid-orchestra. A guest speller's friends & family were nearby and obviously giddy and a bit chatty at times. Includes BCEFA auction.
