On Thursday, July 23rd, I had the pleasure of experiencing another phenomenally-performed show at Center Stage Theatre, in Shelton, CT, THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL. Directors Rob Esposito and Katie Sedlock combine their talents with the rest of the crew and this amazing young cast to give the audience yet another first-rate performance! The special effects are spectacular! Images creating an under-the-sea feel are projected on the back stage wall. It looks so real when the images shake in accordance with the tremors and accompanying sound effects. The cast furthermore sells these special effects by acting in accordance with them.
