This is absolutely a joke, right?

Why is this even happening?

Why not?

Pantomine[?] seems to no longer exist for children-except in England-so if this gets children and their parents into a theatre-then we can all rejoice as the long term benefits have a domino effect.

Don't like-don't go---long live VARIETY.

Could this possibly be Spider-Man meets The Little Mermaid?

Still interested in seeing how they handle the sets and costumes.

I think that it should play at New World Stages oppose to taking one of the prime Broadway houses.

I don't think this will have anywhere near the success of Disney shows or Shrek. Both have very fleshed our narratives, with character arcs and a moral. Spongebob is much less developed typically. In addition. I think given the choice, most parents would rather take kids to Aladdin or Lion King than Spongebob.

Typically, Songebob has not been a Broadway musical and we don't know what the book yet holds.

 

In addition. I think given the choice, most parents would rather take kids to Aladdin or Lion King than Spongebob.

 

And most parents taking kids to Broadway musicals already have.  That's why something new and different may be appealing.  Not to mention the GINORMOUS built-in fan base.  It may not be a question of "or" but of "and".
