Briefs: Crawford Theatre Company on stage this weekend

'The SpongeBob Musical' set for three performances

Crawford Theatre Company will present "The SpongeBob Musical" at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Performances will take place at the Wynford Community Center, 3288 Holmes Center Road.

A large cast of local actors has assembled to bring "The SpongeBob Musical" to life, led by director, Betsy Gerhart. The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob 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 a 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. Additional lyrics are by Jonathan Coulton, with additional music by Tom Kitt. The musical production was conceived by Tina Landau.
