Original cast of THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL to film show for Nickelodeon — Page 2

YES YES YES FINALLY! So glad people get to see this joy of a show and Slater & Lee's brilliant performances (Will never get over their Tony snubs). I don't know why it's being filmed in London though?

Tommy is slightly different, as that would have been under an Equity contract throughout its entire process. It's not uncommon for regional theaters to do at least a portion of rehearsal in NY before traveling the cast.

I would be curious to see what the situation with the German Hunchback was, as Equity used to say that work for international productions was not in violation of membership, but that no work could be done in the US (including costume fittings). That's a big part of why Disney Cruise Lines rehearses up in Toronto.

I did find this article when doing a google search. I do wonder, since the article does state that the cast was international, does that at all change things seeing as it wasn't a full American cast that was preforming the sho anyways.

Honey, get over it. Tony Shalhoub is one of the most amazing actors, in Film, TV and Stage and he gave the best performance of the year. Just because you thought otherwise doesn't make it so.

He gave the best performance of the year? That’s your opinion, not a fact.

About 15 minutes.

As noted about fifteen minutes, but it was done very carefully: a line here, a line there, so it's pretty much the entire show minus a bit of extraneous dialogue."

Unless you watched one of the two hour reruns where they cut substantially more: No Control, Daddy Knows Best, Poor Pirates, Bikini Bottom Boogie, and (I Guess I) Miss You

Or on something that isn't Amazon Prime, since there's no option to purchase it in Canada. The only option is to do a month long free trial of Stack TV, which is $12.99 a month after the trial ends.
