Play Synopsis

Plunge into this stunning all-singing, all-dancing, dynamic stage show! When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up. The power of optimism really can save the world!

The SpongeBob Musical is based on the beloved animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg and features a book by Kyle Jarrow, with original songs by Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants and T.I., and songs by David Bowie, Tom Kenny and Andy Paley. Additional lyrics are by Jonathan Coulton, with additional music by Tom Kitt. The musical production was conceived by Tina Landau.

An exciting new musical featuring irresistible characters and magical music, this deep-sea pearl of a show is set to make a splash with audiences young and old. The future is bright, the future is bold, the future is The SpongeBob Musical.

Deon's Assistant Directors Note

It was truly a pleasure to assist in directing select scenes and songs for The SpongeBob Musical and to help uphold the vision set forth by our director, Nora Paine. This production marked the theatre’s first time combining its Main Stage company with the Ampersand Theatre Troupe, a group of adults with disabilities, making it an especially meaningful and transformative experience.

At the heart of this collaboration was a shared goal: to highlight, reaffirm, and boldly demonstrate to our local community that theatre is for everyone. Whether someone is missing a chromosome, has an extra one, has lost their hearing, or navigates the world differently in any way, theatre belongs to them too.

This process reminded me that with the right team, clear intention, and a positive, collaborative spirit, inclusive theatre isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. It deepens storytelling, strengthens community, and expands what we imagine theatre can be.
