SHOW SYNOPSIS:
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and became the hottest star on Broadway? Why, it's SpongeBob SquarePants! And now he’s ready to ride the wave to your theatre to entertain and delight audiences in this brilliant, bright, and hilarious show. With musical numbers written by legends such a David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Panic! At the Disco, Sara Bareilles, Steven Tyler, and more—and tons of juicy roles for the whole family—this production is sure to make a splash!
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
All roles are open to actors of all ages and genders. The ensemble has lots of singing and acting solos. Some of these will be assigned through the audition process and some during rehearsals.
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS (Range: C3-B4; Male Presenting). Spongebob is optimistic, innocent, energetic and sometimes hyperactive. This actor should have the ability to move well and have great comedic timing.
PATRICK STAR (Range: Bb2-Bb4; Male Presenting) Patrick is kind and well-intentioned, but lacking common sense or skills. An innocent who is a big softie and also be prone to sudden child-like fits of rage or frustration.
EUGENE KRABS (Range: B2-Bb4; Male Presenting) The greedy owner of the Krusty Krab, and employer of SpongeBob and Squidward. While everyone is off panicking about Bikini Bottom's imminent doom, Eugene decides to strike the iron while it's hot and puts on a huge "apocalypse sale" at the restaurant, exploiting the fear of fellow fish to make its owner even richer.
SANDY CHEEKS (Range: A3-E5; Female Presenting). A brainy and athletic Texan squirrel who came to Bikini Bottom for a research project. Sandy acts as SpongeBob's most trusted ally on their quest to stop the volcano from erupting, using the vast amount of scientific knowledge and brilliant inventions to aid the mission. Southern dialect preferred.
SHELDON J. PLANKTON (Range: B2-G#4; Male Presenting) Sheldon’s personality outweighs their slick, scheming, nefarious determination. Sheldon has the ability to charm and will do anything to get ahead in life. Sheldon can be very greedy, but his heart is still open enough to rekindle a romance with his wife.
SQUIDWARD Q. TENTACLES (Range: A2-F#4; Male Presenting) A grumpy, cynical, dry, short-tempered, generally negative but lovable character. This actor must move well.
KAREN THE COMPUTER (Range: G#3-F#5; Female Presenting Robot/Computer) Karen is glamorous, a robotic housewife of Plankton. She's been there for Plankton's every scheme and plot and has become jaded (i.e.. she's been there and done that). Strong comic actress, as well as singer and mover.
PEARL KRABS (Range: Bb3-F#5; Female Presenting) Mr. Krabs' bratty teenage daughter. She is obsessed with the rock band “The Electric Skates” and just wants her father’s understanding. She has a big voice and an even bigger personality.
MAYOR OF BIKINI BOTTOM (Range: F#4-B5) The Mayor tries to solve the volcano crisis with big words and speeches, but not much action. They are more worried about getting re-elected than actually helping the town.
PATCHY THE PIRATE/NARRATOR (Range: D3-F5) The French pirate who narrates the play. This actor should have a lot of charisma and charm to keep the audience entertained. Improv skills are a plus.
PERCH PERKINS (Range: E2-E4) Bikini Bottom’s News Reporter.
ELECTRIC SKATES: Rock and roll band members, the Skates are hard-core rockers.
FOLEY ARTIST FISH: An onstage presence that creates live sound effects from ordinary everyday objects.
BUSTER BLUETANG: Featured citizen of bikini beach. Will also be in the ensemble.
GARY: Meowing snail, who lives with Sponge Bob. Will also be in the ensemble.
JONNY THE BARTENDER: Featured citizen of bikini beach. Will also be in the ensemble.
LARRY THE LOBSTER: A buff sea creature who is always working out. Will also be in the ensemble.
MRS. PUFF: Featured citizen of bikini beach. Will also be in the ensemble.
OLD MAN JENKINS: Cranky old man that hates mammals. Will also be in the ensemble.
THE FRENCH NARRATOR: Voiceover narration throughout the show. Will also be in the ensemble.
