Disclosure - We have been invited to experience Spongebob The Musical in return for an honest review. I have chosen to create this preview post, it was not required. 

Growing up big J absolutely loved Spongebob Squarepants. I don't think a day went by without him watching an episode or two and I can always remember him singing the song 'It's the best day ever' along with Spongebob in his favourite episode. Over the years Spongebob has remained popular and if watching him on TV isn't enough you can now head to your local theatre and experience The Spongebob Musical.

The Spongebob Musical 

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and has become the hottest star on broadway? Spongebob Squarepants! Plunge into this stunning all-singing, all-dancing, dynamic stage show!

When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world!

Starring either Pop Idol and musical superstar Gareth Gates or Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson (check full tour list below) and Ru-Paul’s Drag Race legend Divina De Campo, The Spongebob Musical is based on the series by Stephen Hillenburg, is written by Kyle Jarrow and conceived by Tina Landau and features a tidal wave of original songs by the world’s most iconic rock and pop artists.

The Spongebob Musical is a hilarious deep-sea pearl of a show that is set to make a splash with audiences young and old as the must-see musical of 2023.

Our Thoughts

We managed to pop along to the press evening at The Opera House, Manchester and we absolutely loved every second of the show. Little J doesn't come to many shows with us however he was excited for this one and I have never seen him so engrossed throughout the whole performance. 

The casting was amazing with all characters so believable and so like the TV show. It had so many songs throughout with each character getting a chance to shine and show off their vocal abilities. 

The performance lasted about 2 and 1/2 hours including the interval and there was a chance to win some 'treasure'. Upon arrival we were given a cardboard bracelet designed like a Nick Jr Watch. After the interval a pirate ran through the stalls encouraging the children to wave their arms in the air and make their best pirate noises. A boy just behind us won the treasure and it was a Nick Jr Watch. 

We loved the show and would definitely recommend it. It's fo all ages as we seen families, couples, and groups of friends. 

There are plenty of chances to see Spongebob as he visits the UK and Ireland on his tour.

Disclosure - We were invited to watch Titanic The Musical. All thoughts and opinions are our own. This post contains affiliate links

We are always eager to to experience new shows at the theatre and also experiencing new venues too. We do tend to visit the same theatres local to us as we know them so well after visiting them for many years however there are lots of theatres close to home that we have yet to visit and last week we ticked one off the list, The Grand Theatre, Blackpool. We were invited to watch Titanic The Musical and were excited to not only watch the show but also to try out the theatre too.

Titanic The Musical Tour 

In the final hours of 14th April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and ‘the unsinkable ship’ slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.

Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The Musical is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own. All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever.

Everything about the show was amazing. The set, the costumes and the extremely talented actors. I think I counted a cast of around 25 with some playing multiple roles of 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. There were a few moments that really stuck out for me. Firstly when they first see the iceberg right ahead, it was such a strong and gripping performance. I had tears in my eyes. Obviously as it's a true story you can only imagine how hard it was for them all at that moment. Secondly the sinks sinking. I wasn't sure how they would do this, no spoilers here but it was really good.

The running time of the show was approx 2hrs 35 including a 20 minute interval. 

I do want to add that the musical is not like the movie. If you are expecting a love story between Jack and Rose you will be disappointed. 

We loved Titanic The Musical and would definitely recommend it to all.
