At my school, they had a girl come up that was an actual spelling bee champ. She got everything right so in the end they gave her a fake word, refused to give her a definition or use it in a sentence, and said she actually spelled it right so they had to give her another fake word lol.
Lesson here: you can't hustle a hustler
I'm sorry but that must have been so annoying, just get the word wrong, we're here for the musical not you
"Catterjunes" but you can say they spelt it wrong, because it's made up IIRC.
If this happens I would’ve just said “[Name] needs to spell this next word wrong in order for the musical to continue” as Rona. Hope she gets the hint after that (a little fourth wall breaking never hurt anyone) :)
@@audramcdonaldapologist3676 but she didn't know that
damn chip looks like that kid from up
Puffy Pastels ooh shit
Russel?
Puffy Pastels Kim Jong un
Oh shit! He kinda does!
Is nobody gonna talk about the guy who plays Panch!?!?
"the noise that a duck do" had me rolling
“The duck… in contrast” had me in tears😂
*mr ted is the tallest fourth grader... ever.*

THE WAY LEAF SAYS "bye everyone" BEFORE HE LEAVES AND HIS LITTLE REACTION WHEN HE GETS THE WORD WRONG AND JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT LEAF... I CAN'T IM SORRY BUT THIS IS THE CUTEST LEAF OF ALL TIME AND MY FAVORITE AND NOBODY CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
LEAF IS JUST THE BEST
Fr!
I am Leaf frfr
Ted is the real champion here.
It’s rare to find a good leaf... most people play him just dumb or mentally challenged , which is not what he is (this lead was rlly good)
Emma the one playing leaf at my school is acctually a really good leaf
It's nice to hear that as I just got cast as Leaf in my schools production so I'm watching this as a character study.
My school is doing this right now, and I think the Leaf is doing really well! He definitely keeps us all laughing
@@otherworld_spaceman me rn! how did u end up playing him
i’m currently our schools leaf and this is such a good rendition of the character
damn leaf really be out here giving hugs to ted like seven times during comfort counselor
Leaf: iconic
Chip: great!
barf: hysterical
olive: adorable and plays the perfect olive!
Marcy: 6 languages was the best i’ve seen
logainne: so fun to watch!
mitch & rona (and olive!) KILLED the i love you song
panch: bo burnham is disguise.
This productions was the closest to perfect in my eyes I've seen. I love this so much.
its barfée
Ted:tall
You forgot ted!! omg he was amazing
Don’t forget ted
I love how the majority of comments aren't about the hard work of the cast and crew, but about Ted.
Ted has entered my head-canon for Putnam. He is an official character.
ted supremacy
my favourite part of this is when you can see the actors trying so hard to stay in character when the audience participants spell something unexpected correctly
your leaf is really out here being the cutest damn leaf ever huh
agreed leaf is so dang adorable
@@emmy7130 I see you EVERYWHERE like in the cult of Elle's comment sections and now here like danggg
@@karleighmartin "The cult of Elle's comment sections" HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
wait...are you a spelling bee fan too?

1. OLIVE AND LEAF WERE ADORABLE
2. Rona trying to comfort Olive when she spelt "flagellate" made me shed a tear
3. this is my favorite version of this.
4. I always pretend I'm Olive when I listen to this soundtrack...
Same, but I pretend to be either Olive or Marcy. I have two dream roles in this show!
Ooh! I auditioned for Marcy when my school did this show! I didn’t get it though, my director added an ensemble for some reason and I was put in that.

We need more people like you in this world
idk how marcy's actor keeps such a straight face throughout the whole thing, it's amazing!
41:11 the absolute power move that is Chip taking Leaf’s clapper and Leaf pulling out two more
Trueeeee
God i never realized how sad this play was, Literally every kid has a horible family life.
Leaf- Parents neglected him and thought he was stupid
Marcy- Parents forced her to be the best
Olive- GOD NEGLECT CAN YOU BELIEVE THE I LOVE YOU SONG
LOgaine- Parents forced her to be the best.
CHIP AND BARFEE are just for funny lol
Chip does has the chillest parents, but I think they do put a little bit of pressure on him, obviously not like Marcy. So he's the only one with parents that actually care about him but not to the extent to be over protective like Logaine.
And Barfee has a step mother that he hates because she makes fun of him and misses his actual mom.
Barfee does have the “fake mom Sheila” “real mom Joan” line. Ultimately much better than the others tho lol
No to be dramatic or anything but I would die for Leaf Coneybear
ME TOO
SAME
I WOULD DIE FOR LOGIANNE
Edit: LIKE THE PART
I play Leaf right now and honestly same. It’s such a blessing to be him.
@@laurencox2026 i’m about to play leaf! what worked out for u? any tips? LOL
Gotta find me someone who looks at me like Ted looks at Leaf
Just noticed Leaf sits on his lap at 55:48 #goals
Kay Mingo yasssssss
My school was doing the musical and my crush really wanted to be Chip and I really wanted to be Leaf (and usually those two characters play the two gay dads) so I was looking forward to that
@@firstworldproblemsmusic their actually a ship (Chip x leaf) there is fanfics…
"BAT MITZVAH"Aw... I love this Leaf
the woman playing Rona has really good control over her voice
Don't talk to me about stamina CARL.
I'm dying.
Leaf Coneybear was amazing! Ted was hilarious too
43:27 the best moment of the entire show aside from the entirety of magic foot and also every time leaf speaks
This Dude played the best leaf
*Change My Mind*
How about I ✨don't ✨ because there is ✨no way I could because I love him too✨
@@bradybeckley3343 I love him, too.
Ted is my dream role
This is such an amazing and charming production of Spelling Bee! Every performer pulled their weight in making their individual characters exactly as lovable as they can be! Your Olive was particularly adorable, the take on Panche was unique and fun, Chip was everything he needed to be, Leaf was, as some people have already said, incredibly cute, Logainne, at least in my unprofessional opinion, was perfect, Marcy was everything Marcy should be, Rona was the perfect ratio of mature and excited, and William was overwhelmingly funny. A really great show all around!
Since it’s brown university I bet she really can speak 6 languages
🤣🤣🤣
ahahahahaa
@Serein Serene i think it's william finn's fault (the writer), He writes it "Ya gavaru shetz yatzukim". Honestly the hebrew bit is also a bit off, and i know william finn knows a bit of hebrew, but he doesn't really care for accuracy. In Falsettos, Jason's drasha in his bar mitzva sounds like hebrew for a foreigner, but is literal jibbrish. He likes to do that.
This is by far the best production of Spelling Bee aside from the OBC I have seen. Especially you Temma, your interpretation of Olive was amazing. Props to all of you, what wonderful cast, what wonderful singers and actors you are.
Amazing performance! And the guy playing Panch honestly stole the show for me; he made a side role genuinely interesting and funny to watch!
ok but Panch during 51:02 and Ted is actually the cutest, he was so happy even though he put up with all that
No one:
Leaf:
:D
:O
:)
Can someone please tell how there Marcy is so incredible! She keeps in character like the whole time. In Magic foot, in pandemonium, and every time Leaf or William speaks. She did amazing in her song as well. I love the take she did in her character. 10/10
Kay but the guy who plays Panch is super cute and he stole the show for me! He was hilarious!
Just wanted to add my input and reinstate what everyone else is saying - this is my favourite rendition of Spelling Bee ever. Rona manages to be funny and yet serious in such a good way. Chip's rendition of My Unfortunate Erection is WONDERFUL and I love the character choices he makes. I love Logainne's hair (perfect for the character) and her general demeanour is wonderful - the passive moments where she isn't the focus really make her shine. Leaf, of course, is wonderful - his energy is immaculate (!!) and the choice for how to perform the "trance" is one of my favourites. Barfee plays the awkwardness JUST RIGHT to the point where it's funny as ANYTHING yet still quite endearing - and, most importantly of all, not annoying. I see a lot of Barfees who just get on my nerves!! Marcy impresses me massively with her ability to keep a straight face (and still do the choreography so well) alongside her wonderful singing voice. This is my favourite Olive I've ever seen. The general way you hold yourself onstage is perfect for Olive, and the scene where Rona is teaching Olive good posture for the Bee is played so so well! Mitch's singing voice and mannerisms towards the kids are perfect - Mitch can be a difficult role to play well and he manages it. The work in "Prayer of the Comfort Counselor" is GREAT. But for me, my favourite character here HAS to be Panch - just, like, wow. This is the guy that made me want to play Panch so badly. The improv and script work flow so seamlessly and the take on Panch in general is incredible. "They won't let me be Principal" is genuinely possibly my favourite line in this show purely because of this Panch.
(Of course I also have to commend Ted)
Your Logainne was HIGHLY underrated. I am seeing almost no comments about her!!! She was so funny!
everyone’s talking about leaf and ted but BARFEE OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM HE WAS PERFECT
Barfee in the entire bit starting at 1:07:00 had me LITERALLY DYING for 2 minutes straight 😂😂😂😭😭 what an incredible actor lol. Honestly, your entire cast is FULL of great actors who all did a great job with their characters!! Congrats on an outstanding production!
Hi I'm back because I can't stop rewatching this 😂 I've tried to watch other Spelling Bee productions but I can't get all the way through them. This one has just spoiled me. You're all such natural actors, the delivery of every line feels so reactive and genuine, each character's interpretation is unique and memorable yet true-to-form, the overall cast dynamic is A+++, and your added bits/changed comedic dialogue is bloody BRILLIANT! I'm seriously floored haha (in case you couldn't tell). Temma I loved how you played Olive as being excitable and giggly at heart, yet your body language clearly showed her shyness and anxiety. Very layered and authentic portrayal and I love her!!! I'm obsessed with British Panch (Charlie's comedic timing is F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S, like, LITERALLY so good). Barfee was my fav character in this. He did a great job at being unbelievably hilarious BUT ALSO genuinely lovable, unlike a lot of Barfees who just play up the arrogance or 'gross kid' stereotype (I also lowkey want to see Ari as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors). Connor's Leaf is the best I've seen out of numerous RUclips AND real-life productions, like he was so precious fdjkajj. Arthur could actually hit those really difficult tenor notes in Chip's Lament like DAMN BOY YES. DONALD RIDDLE IS SUCH AN AMAZING SINGER AAHH and I love that he made Mitch kind of a softie when he hugs the kids. Logainne was so cute and energetic and her SPEECH ABOUT THE VOTING AGE!!! I was like 😲😲!!!! this girl is amazing omg, Logainne goals. I think that's all of my most pressing thoughts at the moment. Sorry for bombarding you with such a long and ramble-y comment about a show that happened 2 years ago lol. But I think that's a testament to the talent you all have to be able to create such a magical performance! Thank you for sharing!
yes, of course i agree with all the leaf is cute comments, but hOW DOES HE LOOK LIKE THE PERFECT MIX OF JONATHON GROFF AND JOE MOSES
And Rob manion lol
Luna Lovegood OMG THAT’S EXACTLY WHO I SAW WHEN I SAW LEAF (and he kinda acts like Robert too lol)
Why is nobody talking about Logainne’s monologue it’s absolutely amazing!
okay my adhd ass somehow paid full attention to this in ONE sitting so thats how you know it’s good. also literally everyone did an amazing job
Only production of Spelling Bee Ive seen (after watching countless productions on youtube and being in the show myself) that could make the middle-schoolers be actual middle-schoolers! I think most people forget that they aren't just spelling lines and singing fun songs. Your cast really put the focus on character development that this show needs (cause thats where the real plot is). Its a difficult show when you really go into the logistics of it and you guys got it perfectly!!
They put Ted through hell in pandemonium 😂😂😂
I’m watching this to get to know this production as my school is putting this on and I’m just going to say your interpretations of the characters are just wonderful and amazing. Leaf is such an amazing version of himself and he’s got to be the best Leaf I’ve seen. Olive is just precious and Barfee is hilarious. Schwartzy is the perfect amount of chaotic and I love her. I love everyone in this production.
Okay I love every single thing about this version and could go on and on about different things I noticed and enjoyed. But, one of my favourite things I've noticed is how after every musical number Mitch is in, he acts so confused on how he got in that position and tries to play it off like nothing happened. I just found that really funny and thought I would share it haha.
I DIDNT NOTICE THAT SHDJDKCL
this Logainne is so fckn good
this is 100% favorite production of spelling bee that i've seen. every single actor does a freaking amazing job with their characters and i watch it all the time!! i'm in spelling bee right now and playing logainne and it's so cool seeing so many renditions of her character, but this one is my fav. you guys rock
Im playing chip right now! this guy is amazing
@@sereinserene1781Logainne, they said it already.
By far my favourite production.
All of the characters are incredibly believable, and the comedy is just fabulous. Panch was brilliant!
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT MITCH
3:52 when Leaf yelled “HOLY COW” Rona was extremely startled and was like “OHMIGOSH child you nearly gave me a heart attack! I’m so done with this bee already!”
I think the person playing Barfee is really cute 💀💀
first off ted was so cute, this cast is amazing, aND RONA LOOKS LIKE SUTTON FOSTER
I CANT BELIEVE NOONE IS COMMENTING ON LEAF AND LOGAINNE AT 45:34
AHAHAHAH WHAT IS THAT
LOL WTF
Probably an inside joke from rehearsals lol
Lowkey ted is kinda cute
the logainne monologue in this version transcends space and time
That Barfee was hilarious!!!!
This is my favorite version. Absolutely loved this! And Ted! That part was hilarious. 😂
the actor for vp panch reminds me of bo burnham
I love watching Marcy in the background 😂 the physical embodiment of 😒
Can we appreciate Mitch's amazing voice for a second?
As someone who loves this musical and has spent years looking up different productions of it, this is hands down one of my favorites. I love how each of these actors made the characters theirs, and the singing all around is phenomenal. Also this Leaf must be protected at all costs
look y'all i love a lot of things in life but i'd give up any to so much as meet this leaf because he is just sooo wholesome???
The amount of energy in barf's lines in this rendition is so awesome
My favorite rendition of the Bee! My school's putting this on too!
haha 35:05 (hip rotation) "Acouchi."
stop why is ted not an actual character, like what an icon
The real reason that girl spelled trichotillomania wrong is because they pronounced it wrong
-sincerely a sufferer of a different Bodily Focused Repetitive Behavior
I kept thinking that I would've gotten that word right bc I have it lol
Just found this again. It was so much fun doing the show with you all. Hope there is still theatre going on at Brown :)
hands down the best bee I've seen. My school is doing this for its musical and so I've been watching a lot. This was the first one I watched and none have compared so I went and watched it again and it's still the best. William is absolutely amazing, and all the characters have such good character development. I will definitely use this as a reference for my character.
THE CHIP IS LITERALLY BRETTMAN ROCK!!!
This rendition of the I love you song gave me literal chills. Wow.
did anyone else notice Leaf’s mic pack fell at 3:02? I barely noticed, that was very smooth
3:11 BARFEE DONT THINK I MISSED THAT DAB
“Um... y’all have fun” I love this Mitch
1:08:08 I love watching the rest of the cast try their damndest not to laugh. This is the longest I’ve seen the slow motion part go on for. I would have definitely lost it 🤣
The Panch and Coneybear actors have my whole heart 😂
I can see ChristIiIIiIiiIine in Olive! When she was very excited it reminded me of "I love play rehearsal" from Be More Chill
my first time ever watching this musical. all of you absolutely killed it. leaf and olive’s characters really touched my heart. this musical is so special 🤍
I enjoyed this show when I saw it on Broadway - then did the music for a local high school. This production was top-notch. This cast was wonderful in their characterizations and also their high level of musical performance. Congrats to all of you involved in this production. Thanks for posting.
crushing on ted rn
Its nice to know that there are other theaters that have difficulty with feedback. :) Very nice performance though!
WATCHED it twice IM IN LOVE WITH IT! BC IM GOING FOR OLIVE IN AUDITIONS! AND TBH THIS WAS THE FIRST IVE EVER WATCHED THIS MUSICAL AND ITS MY FAVORITE VERSION
Did you get Olive
we need answers
I got the role Mitch in my school music!!! I’m so excited!!!!
Ok I never listened to spelling bee or seen anything from it before this video and I was so confused when I found out that the four that were brought up weren’t part of the show 😂 with all the comments about ted I thought ted was a character 💀
The best improv ive seen from the table and even better singing!
I laugh so hard when Panch was about to say fucking but then said only barely any of it to damn. Him just mouthing it made me laugh
Me fantasizing about Ted the tallest fourth grader in existence
This cast is honestly one of my favourites if not the favorite
i just played leaf & this perfomance means everything to me!!!! i watched it before i auditioned and while i was rehearsing & dude it fucking slaps
Full on during the whole thing idk why but it really looked like Ted was very fond of olive. Especially during My Friend the Dictionary. Like just watch his reaction to Olive singing I just like can’t 😂
The amount of times I have cried over this performance is... unhealthy to say the least.
ted and leaf. that's it just ted and leaf
The song " I love you" is making me have the feels! It's so heartfelt!
OH MY GOSH YALL CANT JUDGE ME BUT ABBY IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME I CANT EXPLAIN WHY I LOVE HER AND I KNOW SHES A VOLUNTEER BUT SHE IS BABY
her outfit is just>>>>
1:32:09 for eargasm
We went and saw this musical at the Oak Ridge Playhouse this afternoon. It was hilarious 😆!
logainne didn't hold the entire bee note, ripppp
that teeny tiny spot to breathe is rlly stressful
My high school is doing this this year and I’m so happy I found this version! I wanted to prepare and honestly seeing it in action rather than just listening to the soundtrack has made me incredibly excited!
Olive? I love.
They are soooooo cute!
