Ethan Slater is still a theatre guy. He may be starring in Wicked: For Good, but to a very select audience, he’s the revelatory star of Spongebob Squarepants: The Musical, the Broadway adaptation that has no right being as good as it is. Since his big break in Wicked, he’s started to appear more on screen like in his villain turn in Gen V Season 2, but that hasn’t lessened his love of treading the boards.
“I'm doing a play in a couple of months starting in February called Marcel on the Train, which I co-wrote with Marshall Pailet,” Slater tells Inverse. “I love theatre and I love doing theatre. It's something that I always hoped to be doing as much as possible, but I really love film and it's been amazing to get to do more of that.”
