Broadway Bound Kids (est. 2004) is a performing arts education organization based in Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. Our mission is to inspire and empower kids of all ages through the performing arts. Broadway Bound Kids passionately believes that involvement in the performing arts increases self-esteem, builds relationships, encourages respect, and releases creativity.
At the Broadway Bee, 12 teams pull out all the stops to correctly spell words in hopes of taking home the coveted Bee Trophy. The more funds each team raises, the more lifelines or “cheats” they earn to help them win the Bee. The fun is fast, furious, and contagious!
Inspired by the Broadway hit “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” the event will be hosted the musical’s original creators, Rebecca Feldman and Jay Reiss. “Mean Girls’” Taylor Louderman will be on hand as the “Comfort Counselor”, offering solace and (comic) relief to eliminated spellers. The all-star cast of Broadway spellers will include Paige Davis (Chicago), J Harrison Ghee (Kinky Boots), Jelani Remy (Ain’t Too Proud), Lee Aaron Rosen (Angels in America), Evan Todd (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Lauryn Ciardullo (Aladdin), and Alex Weisman (Cursed Child).
