Performance


Spongebob Squarepants opened on December 4, 2017 to positive reviews. The show has been selling out on a consistent basis.

Reviews

“The show is full of wildly energetic performers and playful, imaginative stagecraft...It features a seamless musical mash-up of more than a dozen songs with zesty pastiche numbers that move from hip-hop, soul, disco, and heavy metal to pure Broadway…”
Chicago Sun Times

“Entertaining, eccentric, electrifying and if I could give it a rating greater than highly recommended I would. I say this because it is creative, fun, and most of the audience members were adults escaping the stresses of everyday life if only for a couple of hours…”
Chicago Critic
