SpongeBob (Mattie Mount), Patrick (Leighton Mount), Sandy (Shelby Sessler)
Prepare for an all-singing, all-dancing journey to the bottom of the sea when the Broadway Bound Vista Theatre Project (BBVTP) presents The SpongeBob Musical July 23-26 in the Cardinal Newman School Performing Arts Center.
When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up, proving that the power of optimism really can save the world! The SpongeBob Musical, based on the beloved animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg, features irresistible characters and magical music, and is sure to make a splash with audiences young and old. The future is bright, the future is bold, the future is – The SpongeBob Musical!
A character-driven cartoon produced by Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.

The SpongeBob Musical features a book by Kyle Jarrow; original songs by Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic!
