Anything can get onto The Great White Way—Shrek, Spider-Man, even Fifty Shades of Grey (kind of—technically that one’s “off”-Broadway). Now our favorite yellow sponge will get a chance to be in the limelight, too.
Nickelodeon confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Spongebob Squarepants is being developed for a potential Broadway show, with Aerosmith, T.I., Sara Bareilles, Lady Antebellum and John Legend supplying the music. It will be directed by Tina Landau of Charles Mee’s Big Love.
What are they calling their opening number? “Bikini Bottom Day,” which they performed at Nickelodeon’s upfront presentation.
