Auditions for The SpongeBob MusicalDirected by Marcus Fields
Music Direction by Alan Sloan
Performances: May 29-June 1 & June 5-8, 2025
Auditions: Sunday, March 23rd and Monday, March 25th at 7:00PM
About the show:
In Bikini Bottom, the stakes have never been higher when an unexpected disaster arises: the total annihilation of the undersea world as we know it. Reactions to the crisis range from:
● an exploitative get-rich-quick scheme
● blaming the disaster on land mammals who have entered the community
● a plan to control the population through mind control
● a celebrity performance to fundraise money to help everyone
● idolization of an unexpected and glorified cult leader
(Sound familiar?)
SpongeBob and Sandy Cheeks develop a science-backed plan to fix
the danger, but they’re up against the clock as their neighbors tear themselves apart.
Audition Process:
The initial audition will consist of preparing ~32 bars from 1 of 5 specific songs from The SpongeBob Musical, which will be posted in mid February along with the sign-up form. Auditioners will be accompanied on the piano. The initial audition will also include a dance combo which will be taught the night of auditions. Wear
comfortable shoes (preferably character shoes) and clothes that don’t limit your movement. Readings from the script will be done at callbacks (Tuesday, March 25th) on an invitation-only basis.

Who Should Audition?
The core SpongeBob at Riverwalk team is looking to cast in ways that are practical, exciting, and unique. We seek to honor the guidance from The SpongeBob Musical’s original Broadway director, Tina Landau, on casting:
“The most important element to consider in casting is diversity. After all, this is one of the main themes of the show. Find and celebrate diversity in body type, color, race, gender, age. That's what an ocean habitat looks like, that's how our world is, and that's the Bikini Bottom Way.”
