SpongeBob SquarePants Musical: Top 5 Facts to Know

[@aidann393]

Dear people asking why this is a thing: keep in mind you are the same people who love a 2 hour hip hop musical about americas first secretary of treasury. No one asked for that either, and no one thought it would be good. Look at it now. Give it a chance it’s actually amazing

[@mirandabee2323]

And they have Jon Rua in common!

[@elderpoptarts4021]

Nadia Nightingale Hamilton is art but the spongebob musical has good music too so I won't judge

[@emmakinz2746]

preach

[@gabysusanto415]

Miranda Bee YES

[@WrenRemm]

That moment when you love both of them

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

This show does have the best set though. Holy crap the costumes and set should be nominated for a Tony, regardless if any of the other aspects are terrible or not.

[@sugarrae-kc]

Hazel Grey true! I love the costumes and the set is so cool and they make you feel like you are actually underwater!

[@landlordlikesland9621]

The best part is, the other aspects are great too

[@catietommo]

They have the most tony noms this season and David Zinn is nominated for set and costume! If they at least don't win those two istg

[@manuelorozco7760]

Hazel Grey The set design won

[@knuckleboy8522]

Idk if there was a different set back then, but the set is truly amazing

[@christopheralessandro2149]

Having personally saw Spongebob on Black Friday I can say that this show is everything and more. The minute you step into the Palace Theatre you're transported to Bikini Bottom and feel you are part of their town. Everyone from Ethan to the ensemble is great (especially Lilli Copper). Its an amazing show and if you have the chance definitely go see it.

[@yourfriendlyneighbohoodpiz7683]

Favorite song?

[@patriciomejia1114]

Was it the "Best Day Ever"?

[@lyndsie911]

I mean if Shrek can be turned into a musical anything can be turned into a musical.

[@alissaseals9011]

N O T A T R A C E

[@River.s.]

Is this why we had Heathers?

[@setsers1]

lyndsie911 yep😂

[@HTom-dn2vp]

With my freakin budget I rlly hope this ends up on Netflix in a while like shrek the musical did

[@HTom-dn2vp]

A lot of ppl might say if shrek did so will this one but I say tht because lion king didn't and though thts a lot to compare to its got the same about of hype I'd say

[@gregscott7799]

me to I hope it doses.

[@searching_scout]

@@bigguy3021 that show is also on KZbin. Look it up.

[@carlottarobbins7005]

You can get it on Amazon Prime.

[@sugarrae-kc]

Say what you want, but i love the music for this show! And Ethen Slater (SpongeBob) is works his butt off! He is seeing a chiropractor so he can be flexible and do all this crazy dancing and he’s amazing!

[@MadelynnesMierda]

BRENDON URIE WROTE A SONG FOR IT

[@squishysquiddy]

😀

[@itzblu855]

CAUSE YOUR NOT A SIMPLE SPONGE

[@usermania340]

Yup! One of my fave songs "Not a Simple Sponge" 😭💖🎶

[@TheBabysittersReview]

Ok some things they have not mentioned (please note i saw this when it was in its chicago run so some things may have changed): this show is not epileptic friendly. If you are prone to seizures either dont go or bring someone you trust with you. Also stick around for the curtain call, not only is it polite for the performers but they finally play the theme and RELEASE STREAMERS INTO THE CROWD

[@mirandabee2323]

Thank you so much for commenting this! If the flashing lights are still there, it's MUCH better safe than sorry.

[@mirandabee2323]

Also, did you know that KZbin's algorithm values replies more than likes? I nearly put a plus sign but that might just confuse everyone....

[@izukubf]

I know! I still have like two streamers from the one in Chicago it was really good.

[@thefiesta2334]

Ya the song "no control" could cause lots of seizures but my God was it one of my favorite songs

[@Disneyfreak_8]

Like a lot of you I thought the idea of this musical was terrible, but after listening to the soundtrack I have come to love it! The songs are amazing and actors/actresses are so talented!! Don’t judge this book by its cover!

[@mooshpoosh0910]

this musical has the best & purest cast (ethan slater, lilli cooper, gavin lee, danny skinner, stephanie hsu, they're all pure human beings), they got fantastic artists like sara bareilles and p!atd, and the set & costumes are nothing but phenomenal tbh.

[@rmannayr2129]

If Shrek and Spiderman can turn into a Musical, than anything can, especially Spongebob!

[@lucianoalonso4389]

Rman Nayr what they need to do next is Toy Story. Like c'mon already; how is it not a Broadway musical yet?

[@rmannayr2129]

Yeah we need a Toy Story Musical!

[@lucianoalonso4389]

Rman Nayr it's a must

[@manuelorozco7760]

I'm not sure about Disney doing a full length Toy Story musical. But that would be awesome if done right

[@Monotail_Razuin]

@@lucianoalonso4389 i hope they have the show end with "You Got A Friend in Me" and if they combine the 3 movies, they better have Jessie sing "When Somebody Loved Me"

[@echoeck6554]

Y’all are so salty. The musical is actually really fucking amazing. I hated it before I listened to it, but now my dumbass is obsessed. It’s a really positive musical and can lighten the mood if you’re sad.

[@hdjdhdhbdbd8854]

For those saying this is going to be terrible, well the soundtrack is out so please give I️t a listen because I️ promise you I️t really is worth a listen I️ thought I️t was gonna be TERRIBLE so I️ listened to I️t just to bash on I️t and make jokes but I️t was actually really good and I️ would love if you gave I️t a listen because I️t might change your mind

[@justoneguy2487]

What's with all the Brendon Urie comments? Many artists also contributed to this show.

[@itzblu855]

Just One Guy WE LOVE BEEBO

[@justoneguy2487]

MUSICK_SKELE But..but Aerosmith and David Bowie... timeless legends

[@TDige72]

Isn't David Bowie...dead?

[@justoneguy2487]

BatFrank18 his legend lives on through his music and fans

[@TDige72]

Just One Guy I see...thanks

[@hayesthere112]

ETHAN SLATER IS SUCH A PRECIOUS SOUL AND HE MAKES ME CRY

[@mistamemewide]

Everyone: Spongebob The Musical is going to fail miserably! Me: Oh really? *_Couple Months Later_* Me: Everyone was wrong.

[@starcader9997]

Unfortunately, this show is closing in September, and because it ran for less than a year, it probably will be considered a flop by some people.

[@averysimonds207]

Can I just say that this musical is absolutely fantastic! I went with my family to see it this past Wednesday and it was absolutely amazing! The set was gorgeous and the costumes were whimsical and just so darn fun! Ethan Slater is straight up the human embodiment of Spongebob and Danny Skinner does an absolutely fantastic job at Patrick. If you want to see a show on Broadway, but have already seen Hamilton or Dear Evan Hansen, or maybe you just want a fun nostalgic show, come see this one! They makes references to the actual tv show which I LOVE and every single actor, from the main leads to the ensemble are just bursting with talent! Every single one of them are absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed every last second of this show! 10/10 I RECOMMEND!! 👌👌

[@manuelorozco7760]

Avery Simonds I’m seeing Dear Evan Hansen in January and Aladdin in March. Waitress I just went to two weeks ago and it was beautiful

[@rmannayr2129]

LOVE THE CAST! Can't wait to see it!

[@cameronwalker5831]

Spongebob musical is amazing I want to see it on broadway

[@erinford7261]

I LOVE THIS MUSICAL SO MUCH DONT HATE ON IT UNLESS YOU HAVE LISTENED TO IT. IT IS LITERALLY SO GOOD I WANT TO SEE IT SOOO BAD

[@SagaFraga]

guys, listen to the soundtrack, its good

[@deannasutton1606]

I went 3 days ago and it was awesome! I met Wesley Taylor (Plankton) after it and I was so happy! It was absoutly breath-taking!

[@CherryMiiverse]

"#4 the cast is loaded with talent" No Shit Sherlock 😂😂

[@cuteyhoney1994]

I got to see the preview of this on the thanksgiving parade and I gotta say it looked weird but cool and entertaining at the same time. But I honestly couldnt stop laughing, its just well idk weird but I'm def willing to give this a chance.

[@emilyhuff2003]

Oh my goodness! All the haters! The show isn’t half bad.

[@Rhedd30]

Why do I want to see this lmao

[@austinlam8145]

LeeAnne Landon there's a bootleg of the show when it was playing in chicago somewhere on the internet

[@tyleranimated2334]

Annabelle Lam Wait the Chicago One was bootleg?

[@bloodytearz22]

Seriously guys, I listened to the soundtrack and was impressed and shocked. Now I'm listening to the songs everyday.

[@olvialee7221]

343: I love this long running Nickelodeon show of all time since I was little! I’m beyond excited to hear that it’s a musical. I bought a song on ITunes

[@trashchildjpeg]

I'm watching this a week after the show closed on Broadway, but you bet your Bikini Bottom that I'm buying a ticket for the tour next year.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Rhinest0ne Eyes I hope so too

[@CaptainGlack]

THE GUY WHO WROTE PORTAL'S STILL ALIVE HELPED... I'M IN

[@manuelorozco7760]

The 12 Tony nominations SpongeBob received has remedied how skeptical I was for this childhood throwback to be a reality. I do hope this show goes on tour!

[@agreenpar]

If you don't ship Spongebob and Patrick by the end of this show, you're wrong.

[@echoeck6554]

Coolwoman121 • Daddy always knows best.

[@jessegunnell]

HiMyNameisPeter I️ think I️m gonna stick to seeing them as best friends

[@princess_tamia_25]

I ship Spongebob and Sandy!

[@usermania340]

Understandable XD

[@nickp2271]

I was in the show's first audience. I loved the show!

[@manystripesonetiger7892]

Looks like everybody who watched this dived into broadway! Well I dived into my seat when I saw them in Mew York City! Edit: I'm not a loser! : squidward the non loser :

[@Bruh-fb9dt]

When Brendon Urie brings my childhood dreams into my emo dreams that's EVERYTHING

[@AJCVYC93]

This feels like so much more than a cash grab!! It's the biggest passion project in broadway history!!

[@pinkwormholes5554]

Ethan is so adorable

[@ninkopook]

Can’t wait !!!

[@usermania340]

I will always adore and love this musical!! All of the casts slays their characters. The Dances, the songs, the ensemble, the costumes, just everything!! 😭💖 I hope everyone who still haven't watched this yet and keep on bashing this musical, should watch it first and give it a shot.

[@amayar8840]

This Is What A Boring Person Says “These Aren’t Facts There Opinons, Why am I Watching this” What I Say - I Love This And It is So True Btw I watched it Its amazing”

[@turtle1661]

I saw it. YAAAAAAY 12 TONY NOMINATIONS!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH

[@zozocchini1157]

IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT BRENDON URIE?... NO?... :(

[@kayat.9775]

I wanna see it but I live in Germany :c

[@ray-yo8yp]

*saME*

[@fantinedaae6453]

Don’t let this show flop you cowards

[@starcader9997]

Too late. It's closing after less than a year unfortunately. :(

[@sunshineluuk3198]

FUCK YES MS MOJO PUTTIN OUT THAT GOOD CONTENT

[@rmannayr2129]

LOL this looks good!

[@chrisortega2302]

This musical is absolutely amazing and should not be judged without hearing the music seeing the set or knowing anything about it

[@ieda18]

I never understood when people said "I miss old SpongeBob." Now I understand.

[@manuelorozco7760]

The early seasons were a big part of my preteen years.

[@calebppatrick]

I'm seeing the traveling Broadway version

[@magz9583]

I too, once used to be a hater of this. If you listen to it, youll surely love it!

[@justinsigler1565]

Does this series really needed become a musical?!

[@justinsigler1565]

James Scurr because it doesn't need to be like Steven universe didn't need to be about gay alien space rocks

[@justinsigler1565]

James Scurr that's true, and she assembled LA's greatest, gayiest and talented performers

[@happyMOO5]

Theres nothing wtong with adapting art into different forms. Look at the production behind this and the creativity and fun thats going into it. I dont see anything wrong with adapting it into something else and i dont think the target audience will either.

[@justinsigler1565]

happyMOO5 have you seen TTG

[@justinsigler1565]

James Scurr or make spongbob great again

[@1Stardust00]

This is brilliant seeing my childhood characters coming to human form is freakin awesome! And the songs are stuck in my head! Xoxo

[@rmannayr2129]

BUT IT'S ANOTHER BIKINI BOTTOM DAY!

[@kristinc6952]

The soundtrack is spectacular, the stage effects are awesome, and the actors are great!

[@mackenzieesslin3111]

Sounds I love sponge bob l would totally go and take my mom and best friend with me 😍💜

[@bayleethornhill8028]

can you do top 10 spongebob musical songs?

[@renee_rambles]

I would totally go see this😊

[@adqueen2548]

This show is so creative! Of course spongebov way always a human! Of course Sandy has an afro hair! Of course Mr Crabs always wore boxing gloves! Duuh

[@chornobyl8857]

ITS HECKINF CLOSING TODAY

[@jane-annarmstrong6562]

Ok I want to see this

[@netgeekdoggirl]

Thsi Musical is good, y'all are just mean

[@starflowers1017]

I love spongebob so much

[@izzythemusicaltheatrekid6210]

This is in my top 3, I watched the live tape earlier, when I tell you I INSTANTLY fell in love with it, it’s literally perfect in every detail

[@lilijennings7316]

I saw the show and realized that some of the costume pieces were made of recycled materials. I really loved that Easter egg sort of thing.

[@ernie4828]

Damn, no wonder I liked Simple Sponge so much, Brendon Urie wrote it!

[@ElfriedeRose]

Honestly it's about time.

[@theformerboywonder7194]

I really want to watch it but I’m in the UK so I won’t be able to and I’m very disappointed

[@abigailroberts4410]

My childhood is very happy that this is a thing

[@zellaroonie]

Why do I now Imagine a Fairy Odd Parents musical...?

[@manuelorozco7760]

I don't know if I would be up for it. As much as I thought the concept of Timmy having Cosmo and Wanda as Fairy Godparents was cool, I now find that almost everyone in Timmy's little universe (including his parents) were hellbent on making his life a nightmare to be laughable. And it's making things complicated for me to look back with nostalgia after all these years.

[@justicedinosaur7302]

I live in Japan and it doesn't come out until March. We are DEAD LAST

[@annafowdy]

You showed a lot of clips from “Band Geeks"

[@Bmoz628]

Those gray sweat pants though

[@hannahjoy333.]

Best sets: beetlejuice and spongebob the musical prove me wrong

[@carlottarobbins7005]

When you think about it, it makes sense that they would have David Bowie music in this show, since he did actually guest star on SpongeBob once.

[@manuelorozco7760]

11 years and I still haven't watched Atlantis Squarepantis. But you are right it does make sense

[@gwynneedshelp859]

Goodbye spongebob...:'(

[@CylonsAteMyHomework]

I saw this show. It was Awesome!

[@Sealloser]

I want to see if it not hella expensive and comes to Seattle

[@manuelorozco7760]

I want it to come to Costa Mesa

[@guillie]

I believe that the voice actors should've been the characters -_-

[@ray-yo8yp]

Yes, because someone who's 55 years old can play a (probably) 20 year old sponge, including singing and dancing without any experience within musical theatre. Just enjoy what you can and don't be a snob.

[@guillie]

I guess...

[@lucianoalonso4389]

With Broadway done this, Mean Girls, and Pretty Woman and the fact they're doing Bettlejuice next year...What can they possibly do next?

[@therandomravenclaw8954]

Now let’s see illegal heathers on broadway with the original cast I just LOVE the little details like how the girl playing Veronica doesn’t know any of her lines and JD is always about to burst in to laughter, and how heather Chandler is actually really the only good one!

[@sarahbrown7697]

This is amazing

[@TheMaskedNate]

But like... this musical doesn't fit with the cartoon style wich makes it so perfect it's so different from the original yet it's sooo alike

[@thomasfrerk6002]

This musical transcended any play, tv show, movie or book turned into a musical

[@sarahr4835]

I saw it in Chicago

[@hecklethehedgehog9063]

The costumes are different now then how they look from the first time

[@stellabird4608]

Guess who's in this *ChRiSTiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiNe*

[@LukePayton-g8d]

They need to make a dvd on this for the full musical I would love to watch it

[@isidora1299]

They actually made a reference to is mayonnaise a instrument in the play

[@teenkitsune]

When and where is this playing?!

[@teenkitsune]

JMclawman511 It took this long to tell me?

[@manuelorozco7760]

It’s playing until September 16th

[@LiraAndrea]

Hello to everyone

[@pyrotheevilplatypus]

I think the one thing we all want answered regarding this is: Da fuck?

[@calebsoliday927]

What song did David Bowie do

[@misterroboto9999]

"No Control."
