The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition

Dive into Bikini Bottom this November as CAST Kidz and the CAST Academy of Performing Arts (CAPA) bring the Broadway musical sensation to life at the Anniston Performing Arts Center!

Plunge into this stunning all-singing, all-dancing dynamic stage show! When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a nearby volcano erupts soon and will destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must band together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope seemingly lost, an unexpected hero rises up to show that the power of optimism really can save the world.

Featuring an eclectic, hit-filled score written by music legends including Sara Bareilles, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants, and David Bowie, The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition is an energetic, feel-good celebration of friendship, community, and courage.
