MTG announces upcoming production of the hit Broadway Show - The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition

Show opens August 1st

Get ready to dive under the sea with Menomonie Theater Guild as they bring the beloved world of Bikini Bottom to life in The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition. This bright, hilarious, and heartwarming production will take the stage August 1–3, 2025, at the historic Mabel Tainter Theater in downtown Menomonie. 

Directed by Katie Talberg, The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition is the culmination of Menomonie Theater Guild’s popular three-week summer theater camp. Young performers from across the region have come together to sing, dance, and act their hearts out in this joyful musical that celebrates friendship, courage, and community. 

Based on the hit Nickelodeon animated series, this youth adaptation of the Tony Award-nominated Broadway show features original songs by artists such as Panic! At the Disco, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, David Bowie, and more. When SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total destruction of their undersea world, chaos erupts—until an unlikely hero rises to the occasion. 

“SpongeBob the Musical has something for everyone,” said director Katie Talberg. “Between bright colored costumes and sets, music by popular artists, and an important message, audiences are bound to walk away with a smile on their face! We are so excited to bring this fantastic story to life.”

Tickets for the show are $15 for adults | $13 for children/seniors, and are available now at menomonietheaterguild.org or in-person at the MTG box office located at 502 West Second Street in downtown Menomonie, open Monday and Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
