Show Synopsis:

Dive under the sea with The SpongeBob Musical, a colorful and heartwarming stage adventure based on the beloved animated series! In the undersea city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob SquarePants and his quirky friends face their biggest challenge yet: a volcanic eruption threatens to destroy their entire home. As panic spreads, heroes rise in the most unlikely forms.

With the fate of Bikini Bottom hanging in the balance, SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and even Squidward must band together to prove that optimism, friendship, and a little bit of science can save the day. Bursting with original songs by an all-star lineup of music legends—like Sara Bareilles, steve Tyler, Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie, Panic! At The Disco, and more—this high-energy musical is a celebration of creativity, community, and the power of being yourself. Whimsical, hilarious, and full of heart, The SpongeBob Musical is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience for performers and audiences of all ages.
