National Youth Theater Presents The SpongeBob Musical

By Katherine Beumer | September 10, 2025

Get ready, Bikini Bottom fans! National Youth Theater (NYT) is super excited to announce our upcoming fall production of The SpongeBob Musical. Dive into the underwater world of Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob SquarePants faces a huge challenge: a volcano about to erupt and threaten his home and friends. But don’t worry, SpongeBob, with his best pals Patrick and Sandy by his side, is ready for a fantastic adventure to save the day!

This lively musical celebrates the power of friendship, courage, and the importance of working together and including everyone. You’ll hear awesome original songs from incredible artists like Steven Tyler, the Flaming Lips, John Legend, Cyndi Lauper, and Sara Bareilles. A really cool moment is the song “I’m Not a Loser,” written by They Might Be Giants. This fantastic tap dance number features Squidward Q. Tentacles and a whole group of sea anemones, sharing a powerful message about accepting yourself for who you are.

The SpongeBob Musical promises to be a fun and inspiring experience for everyone, regardless of age, reminding us all about the enduring strength of friendship and community.

This talented cast, comprised of ages 8-19, will present the show on October 17-19 at the Lone Star College Tomball Performing Arts Center. The center is located at 30555 Tomball Parkway in Tomball. The directorial team includes director Shana Manna, assistant director Randi Lanum, vocal director David Horn, and choreographer Chloe Neal.
