National Spelling Bee champion Arvind V. Mahankali visited the cast of smash-hit Broadway musical 'Matilda' on Tuesday night.
Mahankali, who won the hotly contested competition by spelling the word "knaidel" - a Yiddish word for matzoh ball, posed with the cast, including young star Bailey Ryon, the New York Daily News reported.
The musical has been nominated for 12 Tonys and will battle it out with 'Kinky Boots' on Sunday night.
