As anyone who has ever watched an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants on the small screen will know, it's a pretty wild ride. The nautical nonsense of the cartoon characters has now been transported to the stage as a musical and I can confirm it is just as bonkers if not more so.
For those thinking this sort of thing is just for the kids, then think again. The audience is packed with adults in their own cosplay-style interpretations of SpongeBob's bold yellow and pink colouring.
The yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea clearly had a lasting impression on a whole generation of fans growing up who want to revel in the fun in adult life too. They are rewarded with a bold and bonkers musical with innovative costumes and stagecraft, which is bulging with original songs by some of the world's biggest music acts.
