Watch stage stalwart Gavin Lee get into character (and extra legs!) as Squidward Q. Tentacles in the new musical SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. - Розваги
I love all the the fact that he kept all the fanart of himself as squidward that fans have given him.
TheRastaRican 2001 what's even better is that you can consider it part of Gavin's character study for Squidward, since Squidward would definitely put up fanart of himself if he had any
Even the hentai?
Fanart? I thought that was concept art
so good
@@jowikangaroo4710 True lol
My favorite part of this video is That he has to draw on deeper wrinkles for his character lmao
ikr
He aged out of frustration
Xd
Even those pants deserve a Tony
True.
Right? I wouldn’t be surprised if this show is a serious contender for best costumes come Tony season
#GavinLeefortheTony
It’ll prob win best costume design just for the legs.
tony’s gonna be hard this year
Nailing both an American accent AND squidward's voice is pretty damn impressive alone.
He doesn't really sound like Squidward though.
@@FreakinSweet1987 he does a better job at imitating the voice than whoever does Patrick
@@FreakinSweet1987 The creators of the show wanted the actors to act, look, and sound recognizable but not exact. Spongebob doesnt laugh the same way for example, he chuckles in the show. Squidward keeps the nasally quality but not necessarily the rest. I wish they kept Patrick’s vowel pronunciation though because they didn’t and its important for the character. They actually start out doing more of an impression and then go into their “normal” registers as the show progressed
Actually Gavin is a British Accent, accordion to him, he is a English Actor
My family always jokingly called me squidward. I never gave it much thought until one day it hit me: I’m grouchy, I play the clarinet, I draw and paint, I enjoy performing but I have poor social skills. It was a sad, introspective day.
Geez! I'm so sorry!
Oh well to me that's completely fine if you are very Squidward cause I love that guy :) I dunno as a kid sometimes you hated him sometimes you felt bad for him sometimes you liked him. But I understand him a bit better now I guess and there are worse things to be than Squidward out there :3
At the end of the day the man wanted friends and be accepted. And truly he was accepted (despite his claims), it's just that he's an introverted in a world of extraverted people.
LOL it's amazing how in character you can be
“If spongebob was still here in 5 years” oh I wish
Omg Im ur 100th like!! Yeah, that would be awesome
C'mon, everyone - let's all pray that it comes back to Broadway with all the original cast ASAP!!!
Edit: in the mean-time, let's go see the North American tour; they have an amazing cast, too!!
carlotta robbins The TV special was awesome
You realize it came back on broadway right?
If the Palace Theater wasn’t turned into a shopping center it would still be around
WAIT. HE IS HOW OLD? 46?! WHAT. REALLY????
I honestly would have guessed he was at least a decade younger than that. Now I am even more impressed by that extensive dance number.
This video was also posted 3 years ago, so...
@@carlottarobbins7005 3 weeks ago?
@@mar-editzz true
@@mar-editzz What?
Idk he looks like he's in his 40's to me.🤷🏾♀️
i got so sad when he said “if spongebob wants me here in 5 years”
C'mon, everyone - let's all pray that the original cast comes back to Broadway to perform this again ASAP!!!!!!!!
Edit: in the mean-time, let's go see the North American tour - they have an amazing cast, too!
I wish they would be on broadway longer! I enjoy it!
I wish it were still around, it literally came up right after I started being interested in broadway, they combined my new interest with my childhood
when I saw the costume I thought he died his hair! because I saw brown routes that turned turquoise. wow who would have thought it was a wig
That’s insane. 46, carrying around huge legs, tap dancing 4 feet, and being a father to 3. This guy must have some insane stories, I swear.
GOVE THE WHOLE CAST A TONY I LIVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH
YESSSS
I AGREE
Gavin Lee is such a great guy. I met him at stage door a couple years ago with my brother and mom. My brother said " I actually play the clarinet." and Gavin just laughed and said "well I can play three notes"
#GavinLeeForTheTony
I do like I'm Not A Loser from Spongebob Musical and it's my favourite number from the show and Gavin Lee from Mary Poppins as Squidward is brilliant
This costume is so awesome
This musical better get a Tony for costume design!!!!!
Hannah Garry At least Scenic Design was nice
He looks exactly like how we all imagined Squidward to look like as a human
This man did an incredible job as Squidward
He is now Lumiere in the west end production of Beauty & the Beast.
So Lilli got a vlog, Gavin got a character study, now give SOMETHING to Ethan, Danny, Brian, or Wes!!!
wesley got a broadwaybox thing for the parade
I LOVE GAVIN LEE SO MUCH!!
SAME HERE, ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING HIM IN THE "MARY POPPINS" BROADWAY CAST CD!
Maya Hennessey NEW FAN HERE😍 LOVE HIM SO MUCH

My two main reactions to this video:
1. "I have 3 kids now-"
Me, previously unaware: Awww... ❤❤
2. "I nearly die at the end of my number, and need an oxygen tank."
Me: I REALLY HOPE YOU'RE NOT BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
carlotta robbins I feel that
He is dead serious 😂 there’s a whole thing like news articles on actors who need oxygen tanks after their performances and he comes up 😂
If Gavin Lee ever looks at these comments, I just want to say thank you for getting me into theater and for being just plain amazing!
crying because it’s closing tomorrow... “if spongebob wants to be here in 5 years I’ll still be there putting on my legs” THANK GOD IM GOING TO THE SHOW TOMORROW
He's English?! That is BRAND NEW information to me! I'm even *more* impressed with his Squidward voice now.
The Straight Dope ASMR I always knew he was British since he played Bert in Mary Poppins in London and New York.
@@manuelorozco7760 I wish I had been able to see that performance! I can totally picture him as Bert.
I enjoy knowing that IF Spongebob is still on Broadway in five years, we wouldn't ever have a new Squidward, we'd still have the amazing Gavin Lee
Honestly. I think hes the only person who would absolutely NAIL Squidward
Its been three months since i saw the TV special on Nick. I have been meaning to watch this. Gavin Lee was a scene stealer as Squidwird. Especially with I'm Not A Loser! Those tap dance shoes are amazing. If only Iron Man took Pepper on a date to see the show before the events of Infinity War.
He does such an amazing job as Squidward! Absolutely love him
Can we all just appreciate Gavin for a second?? And those extra legs??
0:22 that fanart is adorable
IM SO PUMPED FOR THIS
edit: THIS WAS GREAT A H H
*MUST PROTECT THAT SMILE*
I met Gavin Lee back in February of 2010. He was playing Bert in the touring company of Mary Poppins. He was really cool. But I have to agree a bit about what he said about Squidward. Sometimes people can be grouchy and they just wanna do their own things before they see or speak to anyone. I’m like Squidward sometimes. Sometimes I can be grouchy and sarcastic
I love Gavin Lee!!! Mary Poppins was the reason why I started theater!!! If you have not heard him as Bert, then you had better go listen to the soundtrack right now or else!
this man has so much talent. I saw the show yesterday and let me tell you I'm Not A Loser was my favourite number and he deserves a Tony.
I adore you, Gavin! Really you're doing an amazing work on such an interesting and loved character, it's truly amazing. I just wish I could see the show dammit
*Psst, if you turn around backwards you can go down stairs on your toes!*
But who wants to do that? Dangerous, man!
Once in costume I realized I was about to miss a number and that was the day I learned that the fastest way to go down stairs quietly is two at a time backwards
omg I loveee Gavin Lee 😍😂
I do like I'm Not A Loser from Spongebob Musical and it's my favourite number from the show and Gavin Lee from Mary Poppins as Squidward is brilliant
What a guy. So nice to hear this kinda stuff from the pros!
Gosh I love Gavin
Gavin’s so admirable. “If Spongebob wants to still be here in five years and they’ll have me, I’ll still be putting those legs on every night.” That’s just so inspiring and admirable
his original voice actually sounds like a british squidward
One of the best shows on Broadway! and the tap number with Squidward is absolutely genius
His love for this role and show fills me with so much joy
yes!!!yes!!! i love gavin, he portrays squidward so well!!! i'd love one for wes taylor but i'm just happy gavin got one!!!
I do like I'm Not A Loser from Spongebob Musical and it's my favourite number from the show and Gavin Lee from Mary Poppins as Squidward is brilliant
I screamed when I saw this video in my notification box. I'm not even kidding.
stuff like this just....it leaves me breathless being on stage is a way to express your anger your sadness joy fear and confidence its a whole new you some days you have this rough patch where you feel alone and that's good for a character development in acting for film and animation they have the similarities of it as well. Broadway has it's perks from what I see in the Spongebob live the emotions you see can make you relate to them especially Squidward and Gavin Lee has done an AMAZING work as Squidward wish I had got to actually see them live instead of on TV but still watching the whole live event was just beautiful and one of the best live plays I have seen so far.
Well...if you can't see the original Broadway cast perform this, maybe you could see the SpongeBob musical on its North American tour - I'd say the North American tour cast are on par with the original Broadway cast!
Gavin lee. Saves the day in his character study. I’m truly impressed
I wanna come see broadway, but I live in Houston, Texas. I’ve been watching these kind of videos for a couple of months, and now feel in LOVE with Ethan and lee. Their amazing and so nice!
There's a tour all over North America in 2019/20 (with a different cast, tho), so you could look up the show's website and see if it's coming to Texas (I saw them in Toronto a few days ago and it was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!)
Edit: I looked up the website, and the North American tour has 5 dates in Texas, Houston included!!
emma I saw the TV special on Nick last December
What a pure man I love him
Gavin you are an awesome actor & a beautiful soul. 😊🌟🌝🌟🥰
I saw him ya I was like it’s hard tap dancing already with 2 legs! So imagine 4!!
this whole cast just seems so fun and amazing, i love the soundtrack for the show and i love watching the behind the scenes clips that get uploaded on here. gavin is a really great live-action squidward!!
I LOVED this play all the actors did AMAZING... But alsooo... Poor elevator operator person shes a star too ❤
I'm always so happy to see Gavin back on Broadway! 😍
This show is great, and they deserved 5 years of it :( Hopefully it gets a second chance, somewhere.
This whole cast is wonderful!
I saw this on Broadway and it was SO GOOD
Impressive...
Give Gavin a Tony Award!
I do like I'm Not A Loser from Spongebob Musical and it's my favourite number from the show and Gavin Lee from Mary Poppins as Squidward is brilliant
*”squidward is an octopus”*
me : *_SQUIDward?_*
Squidward is actually an octopus. Look it up.
Idk what was his parents thinking
I love how he even commented on that in the video: "Why he's called Squidward, I don't know" 😅
Yeah... It’s a bad pun. Do not give it too much thought.
Seeing the legs just fills me with so much joy
I saw this show last night and Squidward got a big round of applause when he first appeared onstage! I didn't see the original Broadway cast, since this was the North American tour, but they were still really great - almost identical to the original cast!
his hair looks like yoshikage kira's
killer queen has already touched his hair..!
This is so goddamn adorable
i was literally watching spongebob on broadway videos and I see this omg they finally did a spongebobbway character study !!!!
Gavin you are an astonishment!!! I love what you developed as Squidward. You've set the bar!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE
This is so sweet and so pure I love Gavin
Yes.
HEY THere my name is GAvin LEe and i play S Q U I D W A R D Q T E N T A C L E S in the new broadway show: spongebob squarepants!

So cool what a job! Love the legs. Such a cool representation.
So sweet how enthusiastic he is about his work!

O rly??? Wow!!!
I adore him so much... how can you not??
He was amazing! Loved the musical so much!
Yassssss now do Ethan’s
I love the Squidward costumes
Sweet man shame the show closed In less than a year. Hope he gets employed again. 🤞🏽😘
Phantom Phanta He has got to get himself a movie
Gavin lee: what’s a squid color?
Me: h o w s h o u l d I k n o w 😂
Grouchy neighbor? No. Relatable icon? Hell yes.
he should get a tony
He’s so adorable ❤️❤️
He nailed the American accent AND the Squidward voice, AND tap-danced with FOUR LEGS??!?!? He’s smazing.
Squidward is miserable and talentless.
But he’s so relatable and quite frankly a savage XDXDXD I have concluded that over rewatching all 11 seasons over 6 months. I had last watched the show when I was like 4 so ...
I just love how he actually looks like squidward in the musical
0:18~Squidward saying “no”
I really addicted to it 0:18
I've been a fan of Mr. Lee ever since I first heard him on the "Mary Poppins" OBC recording, where he played a TERRIFIC Bert! When I first saw a clip of him performing "I'm Not A Loser" a few months ago (back before Broadway Preview week), I squealed, "That's Bert from Mary Poppins! Oh-My-Word!" I later commented the same thing on one of Mr. Lee's Instagram posts, and he liked it before (I get excited just thinking about this) he FOLLOWED me!
He’s so humble it’s refreshing 😭
big heart eyes for mister gavin lee
