SpongeBob Squarepants Musical Coming to Broadway

The popular and crazy Nickelodeon animated series SpongeBob Squarepants will be getting its very own Broadway musical, and I have no doubt that it will be the hit of the town! 

They managed to pull together an impressive lineup of talent to help bring The SpongeBob Musical to life. It will include music by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Jonathan Coulton, Dirty Projectors, The Flaming Lips, John Legend, Lady Antebellum, Cyndi Lauper, Panic! at the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants, and T.I., with an additional song by David Bowie and additional lyrics by Coulton

The stage production was co-conceived by Tina Landau, who will also direct. It will also feature a book by Kyle Jarrow, and music supervision by Tom Kitt.

The play will debut on Broadway during the 2016-17 season. It will make its world premiere in Chicago, beginning performances on June 7th, 2016, at the Oriental Theatre. That will be a limited engagement which will run through July 3rd.

I’m curious to see how this turns out. I watch SpongeBob Squarepants all the time, and I’m actually excited to see it brought to life in a live-action musical.
