The SpongeBob Musical previews in Chicago beginning June 7, 2016

Isn't June 7 the first preview, not opening night?

Truly looking forward to hearing more about this show once performances start.

OK, you may want to edit the subject line, then.

I'm attending the first preview as well.

Did anyone go or know anyone who went to the invited dress last night?

Responses on Twitter were very enthusiastic from those who attended final dress.  Check the show's official Twitter for some of them and you can just search Spongebob musical, I'm sure.

 

I'm very interested in how this show will do, please report back.

Is that good or bad? From the pics it's hard to tell exactly and the dark blue lights make it hard to see certain aspects. 

I'm seeing this Saturday the 18th.  If anyone who sees this can tell me how long it roughly is when it's done, it would be appreciated.  Going to the matinee, and would like to make a dinner reservation afterward.

Obviously this is just the first performance. I think they just threw in everything at once to test it out. I'm enjoying many of the songs, but there is this rap song that just DOES NOT work. the set beyond the curtain reminds me of the last ship set with the arches from the wicked set. 

Did they have any merchandise?

I think the overall design/directorial elements is the use of real world materials. Like they use shipping boxes to represent a volcano an pool noodles to represent coral.
