Next weekend, the Hamilton Drama Society is thrilled to present “Nickelodeon’s The Spongebob Musical” in the Hamilton Fine Arts Center! This energetic, family-friendly show is sure to bring entertainment for all ages. 

This show has the largest cast, crew, and pit total number of students in Hamilton history, including 17 students making their Hamilton Drama debut. The group could not be more excited to bring these nostalgic characters to life. 

SpongeBob SquarePants is the musical adaptation of Nickelodeon’s long-running animated children’s sitcom of the same name. We find ourselves in the undersea city of Bikini Bottom, inhabited by happy-go-lucky and ever-optimistic yellow sea sponge SpongeBob SquarePants and his equally quirky circle of friends and neighbors. SpongeBob’s pleasant existence is abruptly interrupted when it is discovered that Mt. Humongous, a nearby volcano, will erupt within the next 48 hours and completely obliterate Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob, trying to prove to himself and the world that he is not “just a simple sponge,” resolves to save the day when everybody else has given up all hope.

The director, Sarah Plamann, says, “I am so proud to also share with you that we have 17 students making their STAGE DEBUTS in this show! This is a record number of kids, and the largest cast we've ever had! But, my favorite part is having been able to watch kids from a LARGE VARIETY of backgrounds come together to create something special and beautiful. I promise you will NOT be disappointed!”

Tickets are $10 for students/seniors, $12 for adults.

Come see this hilarious, high-energy show on May 3 at 7 p.m., May 4 at 7 p.m., and May 5 at 2 p.m.!
