The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Music & lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin

I had so much fun adding details to this design - from the handmade boy scout badges for Chip to My Little Pony leggings for Olive to adding stickers to Leaf's helmet, putting him in a Wile E. Coyote "Super Genius" shirt, and giving him a fantasy-themed backpack. This was one of those shows where I felt each design wound up perfectly suited to both the character and the actor portraying each character.
