Spongebob just rocked that performance on the parade — Page 2

Geez, what's wrong with you guys? It's Thanksgiving; lighten up! It was a great opening number for the parade, they picked a good song, the cast was totally energetic and Ethan Slater is not creepy. The costumes and puppets are quite original. It's almost like an underwater "PeeWee's Playhouse".

It's something "different" and I'll bet the box office is going to really take off after that performance. So, I guess, Scrooges need not apply...Happy Turkey Day to all!

WHY? Why aren't people allowed to not like something without being called out for it as haters (or in this place Scrooge?) Let people have their opinions just as you have yours. If some people find him creepy, you saying he isn't doesn't change anything FOR THEM.

Based on that performance, I will most likely see the show. Looks like it might be a fun evening at the theater and loved the song.

As far as him being creepy....he is playing a sponge! And if I remember correctly from the clips, the character has that laugh. So would he then be slammed for not doing it and not being true to the character? Lighten up people!"

Lol, I know that’s the signature laugh and he was going to have do it for the show. I guess it just sounds creepier coming from a grown man wearing plaid capris than an animated yellow sponge. But that’s just me! I certainly do not speak for everyone in saying that and overall, I do think the show looks very electric and fun. Haven’t seen it yet so I only have clips and pictures to go on!

Have you been to any Santa Land across the country?

I mean this as no disrespect to the performers, who are trying their best, but the show is poorly written, long, and boring. Their Macy's performance came off as a joke. It makes a mockery of Broadway."



You're, uh, welcome to your opinion and everything but you're wrong. If you know even the slightest thing about the creative team (Tina Landau, Christopher Gatelli, Tom Kitt, etc.) and the DECADE long process of development this show has gone through, you would know better than call it a "cheap attempt to make money".

Seasoned and well-respected posters like Whizzer, Kad, and Scripps have given it generally positive reviews. Even AfterEight had some nice things to say. I believe you yourself gave it a 6/10. A 6/10 "sucks"? What "sucks" is the unnecessary vitriol this show brings out in people.

Well just because it took 10 years to develop doesn't make it any less of a cash grab. I mean it's not like anyone was begging for a Spongebob musical, or the fact that this story NEEDED to be told. It didn't.

And again, the actual BUILD out of the theater is gorgeous, but the actual set is very flimsy looking and confusing in its perspective.

more like 8 and under
