The Spongebob Musical (Chicago) Tickets

What a fun time in the theatre. The setting was extraordinary and transformed the auditorium into Bikini Bottom. It was a perfect adaptation of SpongeBob to the stage. Many layers of of stage effects with projections, flying cast members and the most unique contraptions on either side of the state that looked like a giant Mousetrap game. They were functional and deliver large round orange boulders onto the stage. The wide variety of music styles in the score and the cast were very talented singers. It is hard to describe, but it is a real spectacle.

Having teen children and basically hating the cartoon, my wife and I dreaded the SpongeBob musical, but attended as part of our season tickets. I can not say enough about what an incredible musical this show it. The story was cheesy in spongebob fashion, but was extremely entertaining. The characters each had their own life and played into the story making it captivating. The set was mind blowing with both amazing effects, but also how the characters interacted with each other and the set. The props were amazing and kept surprising the audience on how a single prop can bring life to the show. But perhaps the best thing I can say is that the talent in this show is perhaps the most amazing cast in any Broadway show I've seen lately. The voices were amazing. The choreography was so well executed that actors play off each other and the set. The physical fears that sponge bob does was also incredible (along with his acting and singing) Everything is intentional, and even the little details of the play add value to the story. The dancing was amazing and the show brought in tons of musical variety. The show was so good, that we brought our kids back to see it. This time our seats were closer, and the actors facial expressions brought even more life to the show. I encourage adults and kids alike see this show. Time blew by, and I truly mean that the cast was amazing. Go see it.

This show was SO unbelievably good! So clever, and works for a wide range of ages. I wasn't expecting much from this, and I have to say that I was very, very pleasantly surprised. Bravo!

I'm guessing I am not the target audience. I've never seen the TV show. That didn't stop the fun seeing this show during the Chicago tryout. The fun started when the band arrived early to play pre-show music to put the audience in a laid-back island mood. The musical director joined later with a kazoo-like instrument. The set is wonderful and I spent plenty of pre-show time looking at the details. The set appears to be created from many everyday objects - boxes, ladders, red plastic cups, foam pool floats, etc. Costumes were perfect - they didn't go for the obvious and most of the main characters wore shirts and pants/shorts. When necessary, some fanciful animal costumes were mixed in. Performance, story and music were top-notch. The introduction of a pirate who interrupted the evening was well done. The story never lagged and the inventiveness maintained a high level throughout. By the end, I was smiling and left the theater in a great mood. If this show is offered in New York, go see it. Don't worry about kids - don't worry that you haven't seen the cartoon - just go and enjoy being a kid again for a few hours.

It was a show for all ages. I went with my father & 20 year old sister and we all enjoyed it. It had great characterization. They did an amazing job humanizing the cartoon characters. It was hilarious!

I loved every second of it! Luckily I had the chance to stumble upon the website about a week before I left for my trip to Chicago. Instantly I knew I Needed to go to this musical! I mean how could I not, I grew up watching it! I got a front row seat on the last weekend it would be there!! Thank goodness! Right when I first walked in, the stage blew me away!! It was so beautiful! The cast was amazing!!! And spongebob was definitely spongebob, the actor even laughed just like him! I was smiling the whole time, surprising me each time... Definitely an unforgettable experience!!! Wish I could relive it!

What a great musical! We've gone twice and the second time was even better than the first! I'd go again if had half a chance to....

Consistently entertaining, with catchy songs and amazing set and costume design. Gavin Lee as Squidward stole the show!

Such a quirky fun show. You can't help but smile. Loved the set.

That was what my 11 yr stated when I asked her how she like the musical. I'd have to agree, it's not a typical musical, quaint, quirky and fun. The set was cute, the tie in of the musicians and conductor was fun and effective. Even the pre-music group was quirky, what was the girl playing or singing??? If youre talking about the show days later I'd say that last a good indicator that the show was entertaining. Coudos to the actor who played spongebob, very physically demanding role and he was even able to sing while climbing upside down!!!

The Spongebob Musical was the most fun we have ever had at the theater. We went with two families of mothers and college age daughters and everyone loved it. We smiled and laughed through the entire clever and heartwarming show. I wish we could have seen it several times, as there was so much going on it was hard to process. The acting was fantastic and the set design and music production were amazing. I am looking forward to the soundtrack! Our only complaint was the number of families who brought very young children who yelled, cried or mimicked the cast throughout the show, which was disrupting and rude. One toddler cried repeatedly and the parents did not leave the theater to console or quiet the child which was frustrating for the audience. Otherwise our Spongebob experience was the best show ever for us.

I loved this show! I had no idea that so many artists had collaborated and written songs for the show. The sets were so detailed and fun, and they did a great job of incorporating fun tidbits from the real show into the musical. Would recommend to any SpongeBob fans!

After growing up not watching Sponge Bob on TV I had my doubts. I found myself able to follow along with the story line. The characters were halarious and very entertaining. The colorful costumes and set made the show fun! I'd see it again!

Thank you Chicago for hosting the world premiere of "The SpongeBob Musical". It was the perfect musical to introduce our 8 year old grandson to Broadway. The stage was so full and fun! We all loved Squidward's costume! Our Grandson told us at the end of the evening it was the Best Day Ever!! He was even dancing in the aisle after the play! It was a Blast!!!

I bought tickets to SpongeBob for my boyfriend who wanted to go. I've never really been into SpongeBob, so I was questioning how much I'd enjoy it. I can honestly give it a 10/10. The cast was amazing, the music ingenious, the unexpected dance numbers impeccable. Wish I could go again!

Very creative, outstanding talent, I laughed, I cried. About to be a big hit on Broadway and beyond! Looking forward to seeing the Tonys next year when it be honored with several awards.

SpongeBob was really good and entertaining. You don't walk out singing any tune in particular, but you feel really good and the show was technically fabulous as well as the impeccable acting and singing!

This musical was amazing!!! I was 8 years old when spongebob first aired. I grew up with the little sponge. The set design magical and blew me away. The actors put on a great show and embodied each and every character. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by how well the cartoons were portrayed. Definitely family friendly but at the same time entertaining enough for adults. Overall, 8 year old me was alive again! I thoroughly enjoyed being a kid again!

Great concept and set but the music needs some tweaking. Too many writers and styles/genres of music made it seem kinda busy. But other than that, it was a good show. SpongeBob and Sandy were great. The dancing was great. And Squidward's performance stole the show!!! His performance alone was worth the price of admission. Bravo Squidward!!

We have been watching SpongeBob forever and absolutely loved how the whole cast of characters was brought to life in this high energy musical! From the set to the songs you can't go wrong. We had a great time and loved the fun ending too!
