About The SpongeBob Musical
SpongeBob is about to take a break from flipping Krabby Patties as the news of a potential volcanic eruption has hit Bikini Bottom, and the town's residents are in chaos! Once viewed as an overly-optimistic sponge, SpongeBob must now harness the powers of his optimism to save the future of Bikini Bottom.
The odds are stacked against them, and multiple lives are on the line, but SpongeBob is here to save the world! With explosive musical numbers, immaculate choreography and stunning costumes, The SpongeBob Musical is sure to be a family favourite on the West End.
