Great fun family musical theatre entertainment. Awesome set. Great actors. And some cool music.
Such an entertaining show! Our attentions were captured from the pre-show all the way to the spectacular ending! We laughed and laughed - we had a great evening.
The show is everything you’d expect from a full scale broadway show and more. Very fun and exciting. Although if you choose a balcony seat you should understand that you will be blocked from the first third of the stage(for a child possibly completely blocked)
Very colourful show! Great stage! Great costume!!!
Music, costumes, actlion all tremendous! Loved Spongebob & Patrick. The whole production was great!
I added this Kids Musical to my list as the only Matinee I was able to get a good seat. I expected a fun Kids Show, like an English Pantomime...WOW....This is a total, every minute fantastic show...never a draggy moment...kids and adults occupied every second with fabulous set, costumes Amazing, Singers, fantastic, Actor/comics...as good as it gets, special effects out of this world creative. The team must have said "Lets Do It" to every crazy idea that came up...its, nuts, its, goofy, its silly, its Oh, so clever...Sets sweep out into the audience and cover the boxes on both sides of the theater with amazing mechanical props that fire huge balls at the stage...Typical easy plot that the kids immediately understand and relate to but I was in the theater for over 30 years and am used to the fun nonsense of Pantomime in England and now I'm a senior and in Sponge Bob...I've seen the best ever and its a Superior American Pantomime worth every cent. The theater explodes into confetti and streams at the end and the cast kick huge beach balls into the audience...which the kids keep and take home... Sorry...This is so much better than Frozen which has mediocre sets...some special effects, some long sections where the kids loose interest and the theater site lines are dreadful...If your not in the center section you can't see the whole stage...no rake...as an adult I could not see over the heads in front and only bits of the show in between heads...a lot of kids saw nothing. Front Row for Kids or Front Row of the circle. I expected so much more from Disney...Looks like Nickelodeon is the new King of Kids shows on Broadway...Can't wait till they turn this into a Movie...
It had clever humour and elite athlétisme; topped off with superb voices!
