Dive into the depths of the ocean with SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward for the adventure of a lifetime in this inventive reimagining of the Nickelodeon cartoon, complete with a brand new story for Broadway. It’s just an ordinary Bikini Bottom day until things get turned upside down, and the simple sponge must jump to the rescue. When a volcano threatens to destroy the underwater world, SpongeBob sets out to save the day. However, villainous Plankton and Karen are up to no good with a secret scheme to turn the residents of Bikini Bottom against each other, in the middle of a chaotic turn of events.
Under Tina Landau’s innovative direction, with a book by Kyle Jarrow and Landau, the Broadway bow of “SpongeBob SquarePants” uses inanimate objects such as hula hoops, bicycles and balloons to create an epic underworld complete with high-belting whales, tap-dancing squids, and a 1990s-inspired boy band named the Electric Skates.
All ages 4+ Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
