SpongeBob Viewing Guide
SpongeBob Viewing Guide
SpongeBob SquarePants, the Broadway musical opened on December 4, 2017 and closed a little less
than a year later. On December 7, 2019, Nickelodeon aired a special live performance with lots of the
original cast members.
When the show was in preproduction, the creative team reached out to a variety of different artists for
help in writing the musical numbers. As we watch the performance, listen to the musical numbers and
match them up with the individual or group that created them. And don’t worry, I included a bit of
information of each artist in case you aren’t familiar with some of them. (There are some repeats, but
only on the reprises. I kept them in there to help you keep track of where they are in the show.)
