Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Based on the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, The Spongebob Musical follows SpongeBob SquarePants’ attempts to avert a volcanic eruption that could potentially wipe out all life in Bikini Bottom. The musical has been called a “ginormous giggle of a show” that provides a good amount of “giddy, goofy fun” for all audiences.
