Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants, of course! And that sunny yellow sponge is succeeding at taking over all media. The enormously popular animated series on Nickelodeon is starting its 13th season; a third movie about the residents of Bikini Bottom is in the works; and the Broadway musical version is touring the country after garnering 12 Tony nominations in 2018. Co-conceived and directed by renowned Steppenwolf member Tina Landau, the goofy, uber-theatrical, visually stunning production was deemed a “ginormous giggle” by New York Times critic Ben Brantley. The eclectic pop music soundtrack features artists as diverse as David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Sarah Bareilles, Lady Antebellum and the Flaming Lips.
