Although there's some revivals I'm interested in, I'm pretty unexcited by the new musicals announced for next season so far...

The opening number is on youTube and I was..bored... I just found the leads to be grating and annoying and not someone I'd wanna spend 2+ hours with.

The set is beautiful, but other than that, there really isn't anything here that interests me. I wish the production luck, but I probably won't be seeing it unless I stumble upon a cheap ticket.

A fair point. But I wanted to thank you for not knocking those who ARE interested (unlike other posters).

Different strokes, it has no bearing on my life what someone else enjoys. I have to admit: I'm half hoping that my hs kids DO choose it for their trip next year. That way, I get to see it without plunking any personal money down to do so. I've seen a lot of shows that way (that weren't on my list) some I've loved (Titanic) and other were about what I expected (Bronx Tale) When I step into any theatre, my HOPE is that I'll be entertained.
On another note: I hated Shrek, as did my then 10 year old, but my young teenage daughter liked it a lot. Of course, she was still on a high from meeting NPH sitting only a few rows in front of her. (He was actually very sweet to her, practically made her swoon.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Now that I think about it, Spongebob has had a lot of original songs crafted over the TV seasons. "Sweet Victory," "Campfire Song Song," "Cha-ching (The Feeling of Greed)," etc. I wonder if incorporating them ever crossed the minds of the creative team...

"Well they have "the best day ever" which is probably the most famous out of the spongebob songs.

Between this, FROZEN & MARGARITAVILLE, Broadway will be a theme park this season. Such a poor season for new musicals. Really hoping some new, original musicals pop up soon.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

In other words, this is nothing new and the same comment seems to be bandied about here every few weeks.

If it were up to me, I would dim the lights of every theatre on Broadway, in "honor" of yet another offense to the industry.

You know what's going to kill the industry?
A musical based on comic strip about a boy and his beagle.
A musical featuring hair metal from the 80s.
A show about toy trains and everyone's on roller skates.
A musical about hippies...and they get naked!!!!
A show about a superhero.
A show based on a kids cartoon movie, a DISNEY one at that, but it's all done with puppets.
A musical based on a Sylvester Stallone written movie.
A show where everyone's a giant cat.
Wnedy Williams in Chicago.
Billy Ray Cyrus in Chicago.
Jerry Springer in Chicago.
We've survived worse....and we've expected worse to turn out to be delightfully wonderful.

I was just going through some of the Instagrams of the cast and I noticed they are/were already in rehearsals. I wonder when we will get a full cast list. https://instagram.com/p/BXItzAag_c9/

Apparently the goal is to make Broadway Las Vegas 2.0. Next season seems just so trashy.
Also, don't compare SpongeBob the musical to Annie or You're a Good Man Charlie Brown or Hair, etc. I saw this show in Chicago and it's a hot mess. It's embarrassing.

Also: New opening number according to a comment by Gavin. I see why there's no cast album now

I thought Spongebob was quite delightful in Chicago. A lot of theatrical imagination and a clear-hearted message that really resonated with the times (and will likely resonate even more deeply as things in the country continue to get worse). There were a handful of pretty terrible moments, but I hope they'll get lost on the way to Broadway.
For an out of town try out I thought it was in great shape, and one of the brightest theatrical minds of her generation is behind the wheel... hopefully she'll be able to steer it to success.
Jesus saves. I spend.

I never suggested it had the capacity to kill the industry. A bit of context is always helpful. You have right to like it, and I have the right to resent it.

That's fair. Though you referenced dimming the lights which is typically done after a death.
