- Video of the FULL curtain call & Tina Landau's gorgeous speech at closing night of Spongebob on Broadway! Filmed live (with permission) from the center of the front row of the mezzanine. You can see several cast members catch my eye & wink or wave. It was one of the most moving theatrical experiences of my life! I'm so glad I was able to capture it for those who couldn't be there in person, including for my friends in the cast, crew & staff so they can revisit the moment & the magic. I love this show and I can't wait to see it on tour.

1:46 *CATCH WESLEY TAYLOR TWERKING ON THE LEFT ONE LAST TIME*
How in the world were you even able to spot that?!
OMG LOL WES YOU MADE MY DAY
Tbh he looks and acts like jim careey
NDJEBSBD
@@PovYourReadingMyHandle in an interview he mentioned that jim carrey was his idol
I wonder how it must've felt when they sang the Best Day Ever song.
Ethan had to stop singing because he started crying :'(
Then everyone proceeded to cry and then encouraged Ethan to go on
it made me cry so hard omg
how do you know?
someone on twitter has the audio
AND THE SHOW STILL DESERVED TO WIN MORE THAN 1 TONY AT THE TONY AWARDS!
Good thing they won a bunch more, including Best Musical, at the Drama Desk Awards!!!
IKR?
@@rmannayr2129 XD
1:47 Plankton just twerking over there in the left corner
Didi he does that most of the shows
Lamo
Meanwhile Pearl is throwing air money
I didn’t know plankton could twerk!!
lmAOO I-
Just take the show and push it somewhere else?!?!?
xD i wish that was a reference instead of close our eyes and nothing will happen
haha!
The H lion It’s Let’s Take Bikini Bottom And Push It Somewhere??
The H lion it is going on tour
That was the plan if it was profitable but sadly it was just losing too much money :/ so when the time came to renovate the theatre they decided just to close and do the tour
I can’t believe that they got away with making a spongebob musical using..... actors
Yeah. Especially since they look very little like the characters themselves.
Garth Davis that was a reference to that one Mermaid Man episode- nvm
@@garthdavis2502 Chip, please show Garth to the door.
i got that reference
@Azixie I actually loved the idea, the Live Musical that Nickelodeon aired was brilliant!
i was at this show. i was in the mezzanine and it was for real shaking. everyone was crying and clapping and cheering and smiling. its strange such a large audience can come together to really appreciate a show and everyone in it
This show was able to do what some of the newer seasons of Spongebob weren’t able to do for me... It had a unique feel to it, the comedy didn’t feel very rushed or forced, and hell it even kinda made me cry... I’m glad their still doing the tour, but I still hope that this show will end up getting revived in five years or so...
i am proud of ethan slater
@@MrMaddess same
Bobesponja 😊
Listening to best day ever after they've closed is literally the saddest thing
pottylottie he
What's the link
I flew all the way from Colorado for closing night having never seen the show before. Needless to say it was worth every penny. The Palace was rocking that night, literally. (What the video doesn't show is that the Mezzanine was literally shaking.) I wish I went to the matinee so I could of seen it twice. As mentioned, Ethan did certainly did break down at the start of Best Day Ever. Also the applause(s) for I'm Not a Loser probably lasted the better part of 2 minutes. Overall a fantastic show, I will certainly see it on tour next year.
I flew from Florida never seen it either
Ethan did great
ALT2870 I’m super dumb so bear with me here. I’m pretty sure Ethan is the guy who played spongebob, right?
@_SuperNova__ Yup!
Hi! I really wanna know, what happened after the countdown at the end of Best Day Ever? Idk the full story but since u went there I figured you could tell me
2:10 PATCHY THE PIRATE DEATH DROPS IM
Oof
I'm in tears right now
OH MY GODDDD
DOES HE EVER GET UP LIKE-
IM CRYINFNFNSNS
Anyone catch the backstage video where Wesley Taylor had to wait for like two straight minutes after I'm Not a Loser before he could make his entrance from the pit? (Even offstage, he totally stayed in character!)
WHERE is this video
IWillBeHers YES WERE CAN I FIND THAY?!!
Christian Borkey try on Wesley’s twitter page; it might also be on the official Spongebob Broadway twitter as well!
SnowyReacts either on Wesley’s Twitter page or the show’s official twitter page!
Hey does anyone know where I can watch this video now? His twitter got deleted.
I love how they give each person their own moment in the spotlight, no one is just specifically labeled as “ensemble”, they’re all special. Once it got to Ethan I started tearing up just because i could tell how much of a dream this was for him
I’m just so glad that Stephan (may he Rest In Peace) got to see this come to fruition before he died.
im sobbing.. im so proud of this show for proving so many people wrong.. this show is amazing and so many people thought it wasnt going to be, and just look at it.
Mr crabs is literally guy ferry with boxing gloves
Ozzy King *Fieri
I was literally crying the night it ended
Laila Little The profile picture matches your comment perfectly.
starcader99 omg it does
"They invite you into a world which is a version of the best our world can be and certainly a world I want to live in. For in this world, creatures of all sizes, shapes, colours, ethnicities, are welcome and celebrated and that's the world we want to be in. And in this world there is a deep knowledge that every moment is precious, because everything beautiful is permanent. Like this world, like a day, a friend, and every single show that has ever opened and closed. That is life. Hard, beautiful, we keep going, what would you do for the world? I know I'm not alone in saying, I will always vow and pledge allegiance to, the town that I hold dear, for all are welcome here. And so we here tonight promise ourselves today and tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next to continue on our path, full of wonder and gratitude and the most profound lesson we've learned from an optimistic little yellow sponge that I've fallen in love with and has changed my life forever, which is, today is and will always be, the best day ever"
1:44 we love wes just twerking at the left corner tbh (edit: THE GURLS ARE THROWING MONEY AT HIM I CANTTTTTTT)
2:10 BYE PATCHY LMAOOOOO (very back)
He went to the void lol
I NEVER NOTICED WES LMAOOO
@@dallascimini3619 Yep he went into the void XD
I was there... saw this with my own eyes from the very-very back of the house. So glad I’ve been able to see SpongeBob as many times as I have. Every night was a blast and I couldn’t ask for anything better.
I believe it was in the Palace Theater.
I saw the matinee of the last day. It was so good and I got to stage door. I wish it was still on Broadway
Fandom Random: be happy you weren’t at the evening stage door. It was half way down the block.
Can we have a revival? Like now?!
SOMEONE MAKE A PRTITIKN AND THE REVIVAL NEEDS TO HAVE THE SAME CAST
Some Crazed Nerd there’s a touring production of it coming out I know that for sure
It's on tour right now!
@The Pikachu Brothers Did you see it? The tv special? It was fabulous!
Bruh that’s just a happy ending 🥺🥺🥺 my tears😢😢
Since I have been part of a musical myself, I appreciate the work of the people in this business even more. And the saddest moment is definitely when you've done your last show.
Thank you Stephen Hillenberg! and may you rest in peace.
Also if I was Ethan, I would start crying when Tina reconized him.
when i saw this live, i litterally cried at the end when they showed the actual cartoon spongebob on the screen.
When
I’m gonna miss this amazing cast, they only lasted a short time and deserved to be on that stage for many years!
I ❤️ you Spongebob Broadway Cast
I got to watch the show at the end of may or early June (not a dear Evan Hanson pun) and it was outstanding! Ethan worked so hard! He would leave the stage deprived of all energy. I wish it would’ve lasted at least another year. It makes me quite sad to see it go so soon.
ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN! ETHAN!
The SpongeBob Musical will be shown on TV on Nickelodeon this December
@@williamfairchild7439 I KNOW!!!!
Awwwwww Ethan 😭❤️
What’s wrong?
Barca Lover wich Minute? I dont find that 😅😅😅
The show was the best.
I was on the verge of tears the whole time- (I loved this musical it was just so unique and had its own kinda spark to it, I will miss this broadway show dearly.)
1:44 Plankton my man
*Watch this Karen*
*who's the big guy now?!*
OMG THIS IS SO SAD! I'M GONNA MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH, BUT CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TOUR!
In I think there going to do shows in schools I think idk what but I hope it goes to a high school
Thank you so much for recording this, I wish I could've been there! I'm going to miss Spongebob so much
I SAW THE SHOW TWICE! AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FINAL SHOW ON BROADWAY FOR NOW!
Seeing this preformance live was without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences on Broadway ever.
Oh shit this was a year ago? I thought this just came out????
Me too!
This started like two years ago I remember finding the Chicago performance on UA-cam a long time ago but i think they brought it back for the Nickelodeon special I don’t really know
What made you think it just came out?
@@MegaSoulHero the TV recording was just released recently
Isaac Wong - Yeah, but it wouldn’t have made any sense to release the tv recording before showing it on Broadway. That would’ve been a bad business decision. Which is why they did a tv recording two years after it debuted on Broadway.
they should of played ocean man at the end
Yass
I'M CRYING SO HARD! I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH! Thank you Tina for your amazing speech! Everyday is now the best day ever because this show exists!
Ethan crying makes me cry. As an actress myself, I know how attached one can get to a role and, when it's over, it's very hard to say goodbye. You almost feel like you're loosing a piece of yourself. And, since the shows I've been in have been very small and some only ever given one run in the history of ever, like this one, I cannot even imagine the emotion going through Ethan's head (or any of their heads for that matter). Then, when everyone cheered for him?! That must have been wild. I would have so loved to see this during it's run. I wish it had lasted longer. And, yes I know there is a tour of this traveling the USA right now, and I'm positive the new cast does brilliantly, but I am 100% positive there will never, ever been a better human-version of Spongebob than Ethan Slater. This casting was phenomenal and deserves every piece of recognition it got. Sad to see this one leave the stage but Spongebob will never ever leave our hearts. And, I'm certain he won't leave the cast's hearts. This night must have been so hard for them. I'm so glad they were able to get back together for the TV performance (If you haven't seen it, you must>>> ua-cam.com/video/E7y9aubIHLQ/v-deo.html) because, now, the show, and this cast in particular, will live forever and we will always have them at our fingertips. This has replaced Grease as my favorite musical (which I never even considered another show could do), in my top 5 list of favorite musicals. Such a brilliant show and such an extraordinary cast! Will forever love this show. ETHAN, ETHAN, ETHAN, ETHAN, ETHAN, ETHAN,ETHAN!!!!
P.s. If you're interested, my top 5 are:
1. Spongebob
2. (A musical I did in high school that is not "officially" a musical but one we performed because my director knew the writers of the show.)
3. Shrek
4. Grease
5. Little Shop of Horrors
2:01
Dude he *LAUNCHED* that ball XD
I mean, it was a balloon.
Gmexgirl 9 YEET!
@@Kaivafilms8525 YEET XD!!!!!!!!!!!
My heart actually hurts because of this 😭
One thing i loved is that they included the guy making all the sounds. He did some choreography with the cast and was even clapping with the cast in "the best day ever"
MIKE DOBSON!! He is the absolute BEST!!!! (They featured him even more prominently in the Nickelodeon filmed version of the musical.) Bonus: he is one of the nicest people in the world!!
@@BroadwayGirlNYC hes so talented. Im so happy they genuinely included him in the tv version
I really think this was one of the best shows on Broadway. Saw it 3 times and it was an absolute thrill. The cast it amazing!
I wonder how the last performance of BFF went.
Well when Danny took over the insta story, they had a lot of laughs and said they were as close as they could ever be. So I bet theyre hanging out and having fun
This deserves no dislikes
Y’all go to the Spongebob insta/twitter or Nickelodeon insta/twitter, go to the posts about this musical, and drop some love in the comments. The comments are nearly completely negative and this musical deserves more respect.
Patrick: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE??!
I AM IN TEARS I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
Me and my bestfriend got to see the show in summer 2018 and it was amazing! I'll never forget how amazing it was to be there in person!!
my heart my soul *dies in I wish I was here when this show was around and I love them all they are so wholesome*
I'm sad I didn't see it when it was in Chicago, or on Broadway. At least i got to meet Lilli Copper when I saw the musical, "Tootsie".
Ricky _0613 don’t lose hope, there’s an American tour coming soon
R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg! 💛
plankton at 1:32 😱sick moves tho😍😂
As a person who saw this show three times(on tour,on broadway, and on nick) this is just beautiful 🥲
For me I saw it on broadway when I went to New York with my cousin Saba, my brother Yusuf, and my mom! It was incredible!
I wish I was there.
0:54 ya boy squidward got moves
Man, Plankton's busting a move during that final play of the theme!
Massive props to the whole orchestra under the stage.
I just found out that this musical existed because my school will be doing it this year and I’m participating, and MAN do I wish this was still on tour! I want to see this live SO badly!
Hey, it's 5 am on a friday morning and I really don't want to be crying. As soon as tickets go up for sale for the tour, you bet your sweet ascot that I'm buying one.
Same WHEN I SEE THEM ON SALE IM GOING TO BE LIKE MOM DAD BUY PLZ THERE ON TOUR I WANT TO SEE ETHAN WES AND GAVIN
Thank you so much for recording such a great final curtain call fantastic
is the original cast going on tour or is it a different cast, I'm acc crying when I saw Ethan cry😭
When did he cry
Is there a vid for it
No 😭
It is on tour next year i think
LaroTayoGaming the bad cast or the good cast?🥺
I almost cried when Ethan was crying when he hugged the director Tina!!!😂😭😂😭😂
I MISS THIS SHOW!!!!
1:44 I have a mental battle with myself about if I should watch Wesley or Ethan 😂
1:44 we just gonna ignore plankton droppin like it's hot in the left corner?
SCUSE ME WHY AM I JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT THIS?????
Every single one of them are like “HEY LOOOOKKKK” i love it
I thought the show was gonna be a massive fail but I’m over here crying at the best day ever
Thanks you so much for recording this! This gave me goosebumps
Petition to get this show back on Broadway!
I loved this show! Sad it had to end. :(
Thank you so much for posting this online! I appreciate it so much!
I was in a play at my school called henry the sixth and this remind me about everything about it and i loved every single part about it
This is now my favorite curtain call I’ve seen
thank you so much for recording this❤️❤️ love this musical
And I never got to see it 😢
me either, lets cry together
Let's sob guys
Mee too. And I'm a *HUGE* SpongeBob fan.
Me neither!
Sniff sniff
I cannot believe they close down a really fun, funny, and creative musical just to demolish the theater for a box store
Awww I'm pretty sure Ethan is crying in the back 🥺
I'm up at almost 1 in the morning crying. At least I got to see the show.
I know it’s too early to think about a revival but...
I’m wondering this too. It’s probably going to be the original cast because they hyped it up so much. I hope I’m not wrong 😢
Yellowroll hyped what up?
Somebody talk to me about Wes twerking in the corner
Who lives in a pinneapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Absorbent and yellow and pourous is he
Spongebob Squarepants!
If nautical nonsense be something you wish
Spongebob Squarepants!
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
*Spongebooob Squaaarrrepaaannntsss!*
Final curtain calls make me want to cry all the time gahh (it doesn’t matter what show it is) 😭😭
This legend of a show will live on and I’m so incredibly sad and blessed to say that bikini bottom and made me the best person I could be, I could and can be happy
*sobs* I NEVER SAW TGE PATRICK CULT
I never saw the show yet and now it’s over
That one dislike is a The Bands Visit fan
Simona Forgione true
hey man, you can like both. i LOVE both.
i haven't loved a musical in so long and even though i never saw this musical live only in videos i'm obsessed and i'm so had it had to come to an end. i hope one day they tour in my city so i can see a show.
1:46 OMG LOOK AT PLANKTON WHEEZING
I will definitely miss spongebob squarepants and ethan slater
I wish this would come back this was a great play
A wanted the theam song in the musical to be in the big birthday blowout
Hopefully it’ll become a Broadway Across America ticket like Avenue Q
Dang did anyone else see plankton twerk during the theme song.
Thank you for posting this! ♥
I admit that I was part of the crowd who thought that this musical was not going to do well, I was a little optimistic, giving it the benefit of the doubt, but overall I thought it would maybe do three or four shows with a good turn out where the kids will want to see it but after all that hype dies down it will no longer do any good. I was wrong, I will say that now, especially with this cast, they have jobs as the perfect stand in's for the original cast! Tweak their voices a little bit in editing but you would not be able to tell them apart! I think they were the best cast you could have ever gotten, they were the characters and that alone helped make the musical as huge a success that itnwas.
If I was one of the cast members I would be crying
this made me cry so hard omg
