The Sponge Bob Musical tells the story of the citizens of Bikini Bottom facing a volcanic eruption that threatens their world. With everything at risk, SpongeBob and his friends rise to the challenge, showing that optimism can save the day. The show, based on the animated series by Stephen Hillenburg, features a book by Kyle Jarrow and songs by artists such as Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, Panic! At the Disco, John Legend, Lady A, and more. Conceived by Tina Landau, the production has become a popular choice for community theatres across North America.
This new production will be directed by local theatre artist Lauren Rodrigues, former president of the Huntsville Theatre Company, whose past directing credits include Boeing Boeing, Pollyanna, and The Wakowski Brothers.
