comment
A Broadway musical based on Nickelodeon's megahit SpongeBob SquarePants that features the titular characters as they try to deal with a volcanic eruption threatening to destroy their town. Having been described as Our Town meets Armageddon (1998), the play is also notable for featuring various songs written by renowned recording artists in the music industry, a list of which includes Panic! at the Disco, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, The Flaming Lips and They Might Be Giants, to name a few.In this adaptation, the characters remain as their respective original species, albeit with some anthropomorphism (as to be expected) and therefore appearing more human (with some adjustments). While its development has been criticized as simply being another way for Nick to milk its cash cow, reactions from both critics and the public have been widely positive, citing how it pays tribute to its cartoon roots while being creative, funny and heartwarming. It was nominated for 12 Tony Awards, tying for most nominations for 2017 with the musical adaptation of Mean Girls.After 29 previews and 327 performances, the show officially closed on September 16th, 2018. A live show version starring most of the original cast (save for Lilli Cooper and Stephanie Hsu due to schedule conflicts) aired on Nickelodeon on December 7th, 2019.

Canon Foreigner: The Electric Skates are brand new characters. Most of the Bikini Bottom ensemble are original characters, and aren't based on any of the cartoon's "incidentals". Such characters include Merlina the Mermaid, the Clownfish, the Shellfish, and the Sea Cucumber (no relation to Kevin the Sea Cucumber). The female Mayor of Bikini Bottom is an original character to the show, not based on any of the existing mayor characters seen in the series. She would eventually make her way back into the cartoon, turning her into a Canon Immigrant.

Darker and Edgier: Although the show is just as wacky and lighthearted as the cartoon, the stakes are much higher now, as SpongeBob has to save the town from an apocalypse. The song "No Control" is a notable example of the show's darker, more serious moments, fitting as the album it originally came from is considered one of the darkest works by its artist.

"No Talking or Phones" Warning
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_191a164
comment
"No Talking or Phones" Warning: The show begins with Patchy getting shooed off by security for taking the stage and attempting to film the performance on his phone, before security delivers the same warning to the audience. In the filmed version, this is replaced with an animated scene explaining theater etiquette, though Patchy still takes the stage and promptly gets dragged off by security.

Villain Song: “When the Going Gets Tough�, led by Plankton. Using everyone's fear to his advantage, he convinces the entire town to migrate to a new land, claiming that the only way to face your problems is by running away from them; this, of course, is just a ploy to get all the citizens together, hypnotize them en masse, and become the supreme ruler of their new town.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Patchy the Pirate does this repeatedly. At the beginning of the show, SpongeBob says hello to the conductor, and the guy in the sound booth. In the filmed version, he also says hello to the people at home. Characters repeatedly interact with the band conductor who is in the pit at the edge of the stage. At one point, the conductor uses action figures and a tiny model of the town to show the characters' perspective from the top of the volcano. During Bikini Bottom Boogie, several characters head to the front row seats to take a group "shellfie" with a lucky member of the audience. The pictures would then be posted on the show's official Instagram page.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: In the cartoon, Karen is something of a neutral Anti-Villain who unenthusiastically aids Plankton in his schemes. Here, she's just as maniacal as her husband, and is much more willing to help him take over the town. She even joins him in an Evil Laugh at one point. It's implied in the opening number (wherein Karen acts more like her cartoon self) that this is due to his evil plan actually succeeding this time, which apparently makes her more interested—Plankton mentions to her that she "used to love his evil schemes", to which she responds "Well, what can I say? The magic's gone."

Funny Background Event: Towards the end of "Bikini Bottom Day", Plankton and Karen can be seen trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula from Mr. Krabs, to no avail. During SpongeBob's verse in “When The Going Gets Tough�, Patrick raises his hand at one point but Squidward quickly slaps it down. When Mr. Krabs and Pearl are talking before "Daddy Knows Best", Mr. Krabs gives the dresses Pearl brought to SpongeBob, who subsequently tries one on. He keeps wearing it for the entire rest of the song.

The Cover Changes the Meaning
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_3f1f6c04
comment
The Cover Changes the Meaning: The original version of David Bowie's "No Control" was written for Outside, a Rock Opera about a world where graphically butchering people is an accepted art form, and describes the crushing ennui and spiritual uncertainty felt by the album's protagonist, Nathan Alder. In the musical, it's instead a song about the people of Bikini Bottom fearing an impending volcanic apocalypse. The original version of "Best Day Ever" is simply a song about how SpongeBob considers every day his "best day ever" and won't let anything get him down. While it has a similar message here, it's used in the context of one's Last Day to Live, with SpongeBob convincing the citizens of Bikini Bottom to make the final moments of their lives their "best day ever".

"Gaining Confidence" Song
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_3f3964dd
comment
"Gaining Confidence" Song: "I'm Not a Loser", sung by Squidward. It starts out as a Suspiciously Specific Denial, in which Squidward says he isn't a loser and when people look at him, they "don't see the nobody which isn't there", but he secretly believes he is a loser. As the song goes on though, he starts to genuinely believe he isn't a loser and confidently sings that he isn't one.

The Eleven O'Clock Number
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_3fb5ab75
comment
The Eleven O'Clock Number: "I'm Not A Loser" parodies many of the tropes seen in eleven o'clock numbers — such as having a chorus line, an extended dance segment, and a showstopping finale — but it's actually not an example, since it's merely Squidward fantasizing about himself. It comes around halfway into the second act, rather than near the end. "Best Day Ever" is the show's "proper" eleven o'clock number; in it, SpongeBob convinces the citizens of Bikini Bottom that even though they failed to evacuate the town and there's a chance Sandy's invention might not stop the eruption, they've still got each other, and that squabbling with each other isn't a worthwhile way to spend their last moments.

Death by Adaptation
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_48c99e19
comment
Death by Adaptation: Squidward's mother, a relatively minor character in the TV show, is implied to have died sometime before the events of the musical. According to Word of God, this was done deliberately in order to make Squidward a more grounded, sympathetic character, (and to give him a stronger motivation).note For what it's worth, the show did occasionally imply that Squidward thinks his mom is dead, despite the fact that she's clearly still alive (in Krusty Towers, he considers making cookies the way his mother used to a ridiculous request and refers to his mother in the past tense, despite her physically appearing in the episode to help Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob; in Ghost Host, the Flying Dutchman gets under Squidward's skin by pretending to be her ghost and moaning about how Squidward never called his mother). invoked

Squashed Flat
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_4eb5691c
comment
Squashed Flat: Hilariously used in Act II, when Old Man Jenkins literally gets flattened by an enormous boulder (to achieve the cartoony effect, the actor playing Jenkins secretly sneaks off behind the boulder and places a cardboard cutout of himself on the stage). Made slightly confusing as the scene erupts in panic soon after and Old Man Jenkins, dimensional, begins panicking with his flattened self.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Thanks to the Anthropomorphic Shift, a lot of the characters undergo this. SpongeBob himself is played by the muscular Ethan Slater, Plankton and Karen are personified by onstage actors who occasionally carry puppets/props of their cartoon selves, and even the intentionally unattractive-looking (but still appealing) Squidward is played by Gavin Lee.

Rube Goldberg Device: You see all those wacky props that align the sides of the theater? They're all part of one big Rube Goldberg contraption that launches boulders at the cast during the eruption scenes. For example, one boulder goes down a series of tubes and pipes before getting kicked onto the stage by a bicycle. Sadly, they did not appear in the televised versions since they could not fit in the theater where it was filmed.

Irrelevant Act Opener: The musical opens with Patchy, who has no relevance in the storyline and is basically there to boast about being the biggest SpongeBob fan in the world (though it also serves as a "No Talking or Phones" Warning, as he was attempting to film the play with his phone). He returns at the beginning of act 2 to sing a protest song, "Poor Pirates", where he brings in some pirate friends (and a baseball player from Pittsburgh) and they sing a song about how poorly they're treated in the modern world before being shooed away by security.

This is a notable contrast from his cartoon version (who is distraught when Sandy feels alienated and decides to leave Bikini Bottom), showing his increased maturity.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_730d3664
comment
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Applied to quite a few of the characters. SpongeBob struggles with being labeled a "simple sponge" and a lowly fry cook, and wants to prove that he's capable of even bigger tasks like saving the town. Patrick just wants people to listen to him for once. When he finally gets an audience in the form of the sardine cult, he's quick to bask in all the attention he's getting. Unfortunately, this tears a rift between him and his real friends. In the cartoon, Sandy came to Bikini Bottom for a research project. That's still the case here, but now there's the addition of her wanting to get away from Texas because she was treated like an outcast there. Not that being the only land critter in a town full of sea creatures bodes well for her either... The show reveals that Squidward's need to perform stems from a rough childhood where he was labeled a loser by all of his classmates (this is hinted at in the cartoon, in which he was labelled "Most Likely to Suck Eggs" in his high school yearbook). The only support system he had was his mother, and now that she's dead, he'll stop at nothing to become a star just to make her proud. Cartoon Pearl is cheery and her over-emotional nature is played for laughs. In the musical, she is deeply troubled by her dad's choice to prioritize his profits over his family. Even Patchy the Pirate is hit with this, although it's mainly Played for Laughs. He's tired of society looking down on pirates for being who they arrr, and even has an entire song about the social struggles that pirates have to go through.

This also serves as a major theme for SpongeBob's character. Throughout the show, he's treated like a "simple sponge" — a plain, ordinary object that doesn't have any use outside of what it's designed for — and this is what pushes him to work even harder in his effort to save the town. During "(Just A) Simple Sponge", a group of ensemble members come out with neon kitchen sponges and form images while SpongeBob sings, adding to the idea that simple objects like sponges can be used in the most extraordinary of ways.

Establishing Character Moment: "Bikini Bottom Day" might as well be called "The Establishing Character Moment Song". With every main character that's introduced, we get a good taste of the kind of people (well, fish) that they are. SpongeBob jumps out of bed ready for the best day ever, Patrick plans on staying home and watching television (and struggles to think of a word that rhymes with "rock"), Squidward comes out to tell his neighbors to pipe down, Sandy is shown putting together her latest invention, Mr. Krabs eagerly anticipates the amount of money he'll be earning, Plankton is cooking up another scheme, and so on.

Costume Evolution: Meta example. Early promotional posters for the Chicago run used very different costumes◊ from the ones used in the actual show (notable differences include a brown long sleeve for Squidward, a plain, pattern-less short sleeve for Patrick, and silver pants/shoes for Sandy). The SpongeBob costume, which consisted of a yellow sweater vest and wig with brown shorts◊, was the only one that made it into the show itself. Once the show hit Broadway, however, SpongeBob's design was completely redone: the sweater vest became a yellow plaid shirt, the pants were now longer and included suspenders, and the yellow wig was dropped completely◊.

"I'm Not A Loser" parodies many of the tropes seen in eleven o'clock numbers — such as having a chorus line, an extended dance segment, and a showstopping finale — but it's actually not an example, since it's merely Squidward fantasizing about himself. It comes around halfway into the second act, rather than near the end.

If two people sang, a jellyfish played the bouncing ball. If it was the ensemble, a flower-cloud or a bubble bounced over the words.

Evil Counterpart: Plankton and Karen are this to SpongeBob and Sandy. Both SpongeBob and Plankton figure out very different ways to handle the disaster (SpongeBob wants to save Bikini Bottom, while Plankton wants to abandon it and take over a new town), and they both struggle with their own individual identities (SpongeBob deals with being a simple sponge, while Plankton deals with being small). Sandy and Karen act as the brains of their particular groups, and aid their companions with fantastical gadgets (Sandy has the Eruptor Interruptor, Karen has the Avalanche Maker 3000).

Adaptational Jerkass: Downplayed with Larry the Lobster. While he was a slightly cocky but overall friendly guy in the cartoon, he leans a bit more towards Jerk Jock here, at least at first. In the original TV show, Old Man Jenkins... or rather, the many, many versions of him, are portrayed as cranky old men at the very worst. In the musical, he's a Fantastic Racist who leads an Angry Mob against Sandy for being a land mammal (this is presumably due to Plankton's influence). Fortunately, he gets better at the end.

Take That!: The show does a big "Take that!" to climate change deniers. The townspeople don't listen to Sandy, who's a scientist, and make a crack about 'tidal warming' also being fake. Her role as a scientist adds to the Fantastic Racism that makes them to scapegoat her because they need someone to blame. The sardines, like some religious fanatics, follow Patrick's suggestion to close their eyes and deny that a volcano is actually going to destroy them.

comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Since the cartoon designs obviously can't be recreated one-to-one and still have the characters sing and dance and act like humans, the costume designs are meant to evoke the cartoon in spirit without being exactly one-to-one with it. The most obvious example is Plankton, who is played by fairly tall actors in most productions, but the staging uses various stage tricks to establish that he is clearly meant to be tiny (in particular, his opening scenes have him carry a plush of the cartoon Plankton around) so that it's ingrained in the audience's mind by the time of his solo number.

Shout-Out
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: During Daddy Knows Best, Mr. Krabs briefly does the Tevye dance (while singing about money, appropriately). And during the exodus out of Bikini Bottom (which is shot as a parallel to the "Anatevka" number in Fiddler), we actually do see a fiddler on a roof! The Broadway version hammers in the shout out even more by having the cast briefly sing "Bikini-tevka" during said exodus. In �Hero is My Middle Name�, Patrick does a small kickline to the tune of �One� from A Chorus Line. Patchy's “Poor Pirates� crew consists of a few pirates... and a baseball player (a Pittsburgh Pirate). The extravagant headpieces that Squidward's sea anemone chorus wear are reminiscent of the feather fans from Chicago. Following “When the Going Gets Tough�, Mr. Krabs sarcastically calls Plankton "Tiny Dancer". Squidward has a line where he says, "I'm a pretty squid, mama", which is a reference to the acclaimed musical Gypsy.

comment
Cover Version: Aside from the theme song and "Best Day Ever" from the show, one song on the show's tracklist stands out for not being an original piece nor a song from the show: it's a modified version of "No Control" by British rock musician David Bowie, who had previously provided the voice of Lord Royal Highness in "Atlantis Squarepantis".

"Eureka!" Moment: In "Hero Is My Middle Name", when Spongebob tells Sandy it's up to her to think of a way to stop the volcano, then hastily adds "No pressure!", Sandy gets an idea to stop the build-up of pressure in the volcano to stop the eruption.

Mundane Made Awesome
 The SpongeBob Musical (Theatre) / int_d148b019
comment
Mundane Made Awesome: The props and set pieces used in the show consist of normal, everyday objects, like pool noodles, giant balls, pink umbrellas that represent jellyfish, and large orange boxes on dollies that come together to form Mt. Humongous. This also serves as a major theme for SpongeBob's character. Throughout the show, he's treated like a "simple sponge" — a plain, ordinary object that doesn't have any use outside of what it's designed for — and this is what pushes him to work even harder in his effort to save the town. During "(Just A) Simple Sponge", a group of ensemble members come out with neon kitchen sponges and form images while SpongeBob sings, adding to the idea that simple objects like sponges can be used in the most extraordinary of ways.

Big "SHUT UP!": Unexpectedly said by SpongeBob when he breaks up the fight between the Bikini Bottomites. To Squidward, of all people. It's so unexpected that the latter looks so visibly shaken afterwards.

comment
Duet of Differences: Daddy Knows Best is one for Mr. Krabs and Pearl. While Eugene sings about the joys of money, Pearl comments on how he's too greedy to pay attention to her. Bonus points for both their parts being completely different music genres that clash with each other in the end; Mr. Krabs has a hearty sailor's ditty while Pearl sings a soulful ballad.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After discussing with Squidward about why most of their stuff haven't been brought over to the stage and being called a loser by Squidward, the Electric Stakes decide to quit the concert and go out of town. At least they managed to save themselves from the eruption of Mt. Humongous.

Evil Plan: Taking advantage of the panic ensuing in Bikini Bottom, Plankton hatches a scheme to convince everyone to migrate to a new land, where he'll hypnotize them all into liking his chum burgers and ultimately becom the ruler of the new town. Unlike the cartoon, he seems to show little interest in stealing the Krabby Patty secret formula this time around, only briefly attempting to do so during the opening number.

Easily Forgiven: Averted. After Sandy's 'Eruptor Interruptor' device saves the town, Old Man Jenkins (who had previously led a mob against her) affirms everyone should be welcome in Bikini Bottom - Sandy included. Sandy appreciates it, but isn't sure she can trust the townsfolk again after they'd threaten her. Spongebob says she doesn't have to - but begs her to stay in town and give them another chance to do better. Sandy agrees, partly because it's still where Spongebob and Patrick live, and they're part of "her team".
