Bill Clinton and Chelsea attend "The 25th annual Putnam county spelling bee"

On Friday, June 1st I went to see "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee". It had some very biting funny lines, some great characters and a few very pretty ballads. Former President Bill Clinton arrived with his daughter Chelsea about ten minutes before it started. He was seated in a very prominent prime seat and was noticed by a few people seated close by who started snapping pictures and asking for his autograph. The producers obviously new he was coming because they wrote in at least one line about Chelsea becoming president. The nature of the play lends itself to rewriting lines to fit a particular performance or current story in the news. The spelling bee judges are reading words the actors have to spell from cue cards so its easy to fit in tailor made jokes for a particular performance. I like that because it makes the show fresher for the cast and if you see the play more than once it makes it more interesting.I would recommend the play but it suffers from what I think a lot plays suffer from. The fact that the producers feel the play must be a certain length. So instead of editing out the weak songs and weak lines and having a tightly edited one hour fifteen minute great play, they make a one hour forty five minute overly long play that should have been edited better. I think that producers are afraid to produce something that is to short. Anyway, at the end of the play Clinton walks on stage and the 950 people that didn't notice him before burst into a loud spontaneous applause.
