Beck Center for the Arts will present intergenerational experience that is fun for all, The SpongeBob Musical.
Beck Center for the Arts’ Artistic Director, and director of this musical production, Scott Spence shared, “My daughter was two and a half when SpongeBob Squarepants first aired on Nickelodeon. Since that day in 1999, that little absorbent dude and his wacky undersea pals have been ever-present in our lives spanning generations of kids, parents, and now grandparents. Like so many cartoons that have endurance, the writers have always been savvy enough to write for both the kids AND the adults. It is, of course, the natural order of things for all things popular to transform into a musical. And so, SpongeBob the Musical made its way from the Broadway stage to our humble local venue. With music by a TEAM of superstars such as They Might Be Giants, David Bowie, Panic! At The Disco, John Legend, and even Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, this musical is effervescent, buoyant and 100% seaworthy. It's another Beck holiday gift to you! Come splash around with us---December 5, 2025 through January 4, 2026.”
