Description:

The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage. The power of optimism really can save the world!

The SpongeBob Musical is based on the beloved animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg and features an original book by Kyle Jarrow, with original songs by Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants and T.I., and songs by David Bowie, Tom Kenny and Andy Paley.

Show Notes:

Mandatory Show Parent Meetings:
Regardless of your previous involvement in CYT, anyone interested in auditioning for High School Musical Jr. or SpongeBob MUST be present for one of the below meetings:
Saturday, March 25th at 3pm @ North Point Church in New Braunfels
Saturday, March 25th at 5pm @ North Point Church in New Braunfels

Some of our processes are changing this session, so it is imperative that every student have a parent/guardian in attendance. You cannot have a parent/guardian from another family stand in for you!!!


Please sign up for the parent meeting you will attend *CLICK HERE*

You only need to come to one of these meetings and coming to a meeting doesn't commit you to participating. This is just to make sure that everyone has the necessary information about the process, expectations, and more. If you cannot make one of these meetings but still want to participate, please email our Area Coordinator, Naomi Tulp, at shows@cytsanantonio.org.
If you do not have a family representative present for one of these meetings and you don't connect with our Show Coordinator to get the information, your child will not be able to audition for the show.

Auditions:
Students enrolled for the Spring Session of classes are eligible to sign up for an audition slot through their CYT family account.  Auditions for both High School Musical Jr. and SpongeBob will be on Saturday, April 1st from 10am-4pm where students will bring their prepared material (see below) to present for the artistic teams of both productions. Please arrive 10 minutes before your audition slot to make sure your paperwork is complete.

Students will need to prepare:
A one minute cut of a song (this song should NOT be from High School Musical Jr. or SpongeBob. We suggest something Disney if this is your first time auditioning. Your track needs to be a karaoke track with no words)
A one minute or less monologue (the SpongeBob monologues that you can use can be found -HERE- OR you can select your own monologue if you would like)

REQUIRED BY AUDITIONS:
1. Registered for a Spring 2023 Class

If you cannot make auditions in person, video auditions are accepted! Record a video of your one minute song and monologue and upload the video on your Spring Audition Form. Please email Naomi Tulp at shows@cytsanantonio.org if you have any questions. We want to see you audition for the show so if you have existing school or family commitments, please get information on how to submit a video audition. Video auditions do NOT exclude you from receiving a callback or participating in the show.
