    Great for all ages

    10 out of 10 is not an easy thing for me to say about something, but this was an incredible show. You're not bored at all. The singing will give you goosebumps. Whether your 6th row orchestra seats like me or watching from the big screen at home, this will make you want to get up and dance. This show is great for people ages 3-99. It's an amazing experience and a whale of a time. You will not be disappointed at all.

    Awesome

    The songs are catchy and I hope they make a dvd of it soon so I can watch it over and over again

    Just as amazing as the Broadway show

    I'm a little biased since I'm one of the fangirls who's been raving about the show for over a year now and saw it when it was on Broadway, but this musical is outstanding. The characters are true to the cartoon while also looking like actual people, the costumes are beautiful, the songs are catchy, and very little was cut from the Broadway show. This is a genius work of art that has some very important messages about compassion and diversity. Ethan Slater was robbed of his Tony for the seven years of hard work he put into this (and the same goes for the rest of the cast). I'm so happy that the show will be preserved for generations to come.

    Patrick turns into a deity

    As someone who grew up on the OG show, I thought this was fun and pretty true to the original cartoon. A few things I want to address from other low ratings here: 1. This is a Broadway musical, not the actual show. The voices are not going to sound like the ones in the cartoon-- they're Broadway actors. Besides, I thought the voices were pretty good and similar to the show considering they weren't the actors from the show! 2. Sorry there's no explosions or bloody fights to keep your children's attention. Again, this is a musical based on a cartoon-- sorry, no, it's not based on the Bourne series. I don't know what you guys were expecting, but this was a fun, cute musical based on a beloved children's series! Maybe watch the show from season one and then a watch again. I don't know what to tell you guys, except this was a pretty dope musical and the nostalgia was abundant for me. Oh! Squidward was spot on!! And the imagery, effects, costumes... It was all fantastic! Very catchy!

    Perfection For A Musical.

    I don't normally enjoy musical productions, but I caught an hour or so of this one. The actors are so amazing and they display their love for the original show by their performances. Everything just felt like it should. Bravo to everyone involved in this. This is truly a musical done right.

    • Trivia
      In order to fit the TV length, some minor aspects of the stage show were cut: The original prologue of Patchy the Pirate crashing the show was replaced by an animated prologue of the SpongeBob characters about to watch the show using previously animated footage from the policy trailer, made in conjunction with ScreenVision Media, with some new lines dubbed in. The boulders from the volcano were initially represented by giant bouncy balls coming from Rube Goldberg devices from both sides of the stage, unfortunately, the theater could not accommodate said devices. The second reprise of "Bikini Bottom Day" at the beginning of act II was removed. Due to time, the beginning of the third verse of "Best Day Ever" was cut. In the original stage show, the SpongeBob theme song happened after the curtain call, but due to time, the theme song is sung right after the "Bikini Bottom Day" finale, followed by a proper curtain call.
