The SpongeBob Musical: Live On Stage! Preview

This family-friendly event is bringing to life all your favorite characters from the beloved cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. Joining the original Broadway cast is Tom Kenny as “Patchy the Pirate.” Kenny voiced many characters for the original cartoon, including the title character, Patchy the Pirate, Gary the Snail, Hans, the French Narrator, and various other characters.

For the musical simulcast, he’ll be performing “Poor Pirates,” a song written for the musical by the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles.

“I’ve had a blast portraying live-action suburban buccaneer and President of the SpongeBob SquarePants Fan Club, ‘Patchy the Pirate,’ since the character’s first appearance in season two of SpongeBob SquarePants way back in 2000,” said Kenny in a press release. “I loved The SpongeBob Musical, and I was thrilled to be included in it both in pre-recorded (‘French Narrator’) and songwriter (‘Best Day Ever’) forms! But to now have the opportunity to actually step on stage and perform alongside members of the original Broadway production is truly a unique honor. It’s ‘meta times ten,’ and I think Nickelodeon’s audience will really get a kick out of it!”

In the musical, SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the potential of total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises and takes center stage.

The simulcast is not airing live, but it was filmed for television in front of a live theater audience. Other performers include Ethan Slater, Gavin Lee, Danny Skinner, Brian Ray Norris, Wesley Taylor, and Christina Sajous.
