THE SPONGEBOB
MUSICAL CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
*Characters can
be played by any gender*
SpongeBob SquarePants (Range: C3-B4):
Everyone’s favorite yellow sponge, and the hero of our
story. Bright, cheery, and always optimistic, SpongeBob knows how to
maintain a positive attitude, even when a deadly volcano threatens to
destroy their beloved town.
Patrick Star (Range: Bb2-Bb4):
SpongeBob’s simple-minded starfish friend. Patrick may
be dumb and lazy on the outside, but inside, they just want someone to
listen to what they have to say.
Sandy Cheeks (Range: A3-E5):
A brainy and athletic Texan squirrel who came to Bikini
Bottom for a research project. She acts as SpongeBob’s most trusted
ally on their quest to stop the volcano from erupting, using her vast
amount of scientific knowledge and brilliant inventions to aid the
mission.
Squidward Q. Tentacles (Range: A2-F#4):
SpongeBob and Patrick’s cranky, clarinet-playing
neighbor. Squidward has a very gloomy outlook on life, believing the
world’s “a horrible place filled with fear, suffering, and despair”,
but nonetheless, they dream of becoming a famous stage star for the
sake of their late mother, and is willing to do just about anything to
achieve their big break.
Eugene Krabs (Range: B2-Bb4)
The greedy owner of the Krusty Krab, and employer of
SpongeBob and Squidward. While everyone is off panicking about Bikini
Bottom’s imminent doom, Mr. Krabs decides to strike the iron while it’s
hot and puts on a huge “apocalypse sale” at his restaurant, exploiting
the fear of his fellow fish to make him even richer.
Sheldon J. Plankton (Range: B2-G#4)
The scheming owner of the Chum Bucket who has big plans
for world domination. Plankton uses the Mount Humongous disaster to his
advantage by convincing everyone to leave Bikini Bottom and settle into
a new town, where they will tyrannically take them over as their new
Evil Overlord. But they don’t know that, of course...
Pearl Krabs – (Range:Bb3-F#5):
Mr. Krabs’ teenage whale daughter. Even though her
father spoils her silly, she deeply detests his greed and wants him to
prioritize his family, not his profits. She’s also a huge fan of the
famous rock band the Electric Skates, and eventually plans to run away
with them after she’s had enough of her dad’s neglect.
Karen the Computer – (Range: G#3-F#5):
A waterproof supercomputer who is Plankton’s snarky
sidekick and wife. She aids her husband in his plot to take everything
over after realizing that his Evil Plan is putting the spark back into
their relationship.
Perch Perkins – (Range: E2-E4):
The head anchor of Bikini Bottom News. He keeps everyone
up-to-date on the current state of their doomed hometown.
The Mayor of Bikini Bottom – (Range: F#4-B5):
The overbearing mayor of Bikini Bottom. She claims that
everything is under control as the apocalypse draws nearer, but it’s
pretty clear that she has absolutely no idea what to do... so she
decides to become a dictator. No solo singing.
Patchy the Pirate – (Range: D3-F4 (F5 falsetto)):
The pirate president of the SpongeBob fan club. Eager to
see his idol star in his very own Broadway musical, Patchy sets up his
own little VIP seat right in front of the stage, before getting booted
out by security guards. He constantly tries sneaking his way back into
the theater throughout the majority of the show.
The Electric Skates – 3 band members:
A famous rock band who’s hired to perform at the Bikini
Bottom benefit concert. Pearl’s a huge fan of these guys. They’re known
to rock out while zipping across the stage on skateboards and roller
skates, hence the name. Harmony singing.
Larry the Lobster
A muscular lobster who spends most of his time “getting
his claws swole”. He eventually becomes the Mayor’s bodyguard. No solo
singing.
Mrs. Puff
A high-strung boating school instructor turned lush. No
solo singing.
Old Man Jenkins
A cranky old fish who leads an Angry Mob against Sandy
for being a land creature.
Gary the Snail
The 'pet' of Spongebob. No solo singing.
