Nickelodeon, along with The Araca Group, Sony Music Masterworks and Kelp on the Road, will launch the musical SpongeBob SquarePants at The Palace Theater, Broadway this fall.
The SpongeBob SquarePants musical will see SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. As chaos erupts and when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero will rise up and take center stage to save the day.
“We could not be more thrilled to bring Nickelodeon’s iconic ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ to the theater in an original musical conceived specifically for Broadway,” says Cyma Zarghami, president, Nickelodeon Group. “We are also incredibly honored to be in such a gorgeous house as The Palace, where audiences will be immersed in the fun and surprising world of Bikini Bottom,” she concluded.
The musical will feature original songs by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, Lady Antebellum, Cyndi Lauper, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, and T.I., among many others. It will also feature a song by David Bowie.
