17 roles
Our hero, an eternally optimistic, hard-working sea sponge who loves his town, his job, his friends, and his pet snail. Joyful and child-like, sometimes naïve, but never stupid. Need an excellent singer with high tenor range, a ton of energy, and the ability to sell comedy with physical movement and facial expressions.
SpongeBob’s best friend, a loyal, simple starfish unburdened by a complex central nervous system. He is an eternal sidekick and wingman, and never really spends much time thinking about his place in the ocean, or at all. Need a strong singer with a wide range.
Sandy is a genius inventor, karate enthusiast, native Texan, and squirrel in a diving suit. She’s more practical, focused, and realistic than SpongeBob or Patrick, but she’s also a thrill-seeker and adventurer who never met a risk she wouldn’t take. Need a very strong singer with a solid medium belt.
Imagine if Dwight Schrute and Niles Crane had a baby who grew up to be a fast foot cashier and also an octopus. And also Ethel Merman sometimes a little. Hey, Squidward is a complicated guy; he contains multitudes. Character voice with baritone range. Ability (or at least willingness to attempt) to tap dance is a plus but not required. Clarinet proficiency is definitely not necessary but directors will be duly impressed if you play the clarinet at your audition.
Mr. Krabs is the owner and operator of Bikini Bottom’s most popular dining establishment, the Krusty Krab. He loves money, his daughter Pearl, money, his work, money, the wailing and lamentations of his enemies, and money. Needs a big, boisterous, vaguely pirate-y character voice and the ability to make amoral greediness seem kind of cuddly.
Mr. Krabs’ daughter is a teenage whale who is possibly the most intelligent character in Bikini Bottom (she has the largest brain!) but is prone to fits of intense emotion. One day she dreams of being the lead singer in a rock and roll band, but for now is unhappily the heir to her father’s Krusty Krab franchise. Need an outstanding singer; Pearl can wail.
A single-celled organism and rival to Mr. Krabs, Plankton is egotistical, aggressive, evil, and power-hungry. He also has some negative traits.
Plankton’s wife Karen is a waterproof computer. She is just as devious, manipulative, and scheming as her husband, but perhaps a touch more practical and less outwardly aggressive. In this production, needs to do a bit of light beatboxing.
The fish ensemble: this team of 8-10 performers will variously play the remaining adult roles. Need versatile performers who can sing, dance, or both.
