May 22, 2025

Blue and yellow promotional poster for Weatherford College Summer Stage's "The Spongebob Musical Youth Edition," listing performance dates May 30-June 1 at the Alkek Fine Arts Center.Weatherford College Summer Stage presents "The SpongeBob Musical Youth Edition," bringing the beloved animated character from Bikini Bottom to life on stage. This one-hour adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, tailored for young actors, promises an all-singing, all-dancing, dynamic stage show suitable for all ages.  

Performances will take place at the Alkek Fine Arts Center on the Weatherford College campus:  

  • Friday, May 30 at 7 p.m.  
  • Saturday, May 31 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.  
  • Sunday, June 1 at 3 p.m.  

Based on the iconic Nickelodeon series created by Stephen Hillenburg, "The SpongeBob Musical Youth Edition" plunges audiences into an exciting adventure. When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his eclectic group of friends must unite to save their undersea world. With hope dwindling, an unexpected hero rises, proving that the power of optimism truly can save the world.  

The original Broadway production of "The SpongeBob Musical" garnered widespread critical acclaim, earning twelve 2018 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, and winning the 2018 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical.  

Its score features a lineup of original songs by artists such as Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants and T.I. The production also incorporates songs by David Bowie, Tom Kenny, and Andy Paley, with additional lyrics by Jonathan Coulton and additional music by Tom Kitt.  

This special youth edition, a Concord Theatricals title, features a talented cast of local children and young adults who auditioned earlier this spring from the community. These dedicated performers have been undergoing intense rehearsals, including a rigorous week of theatre camp, to prepare for opening night.  

Leading the cast are:  

  • Lucas Steele as SpongeBob SquarePants  
  • Asher Feriend as Patrick Star  
  • Saphira Buchfink as Squidward  
  • Shayla Nuttall as Sandy Cheeks  
  • Asa Wilson as Mr. Krabs  
  • Aubrey Landers as Pearl  
  • Mason Steele as Sheldon J. Plankton  
  • Meghan Murray as Karen Plankton
