Long Beach takes a trip to Bikini Bottom

Long Beach Middle School presented “The SpongeBob Musical, Youth Edition” to family and friends with two performances on Jan. 19 and 20.

The SpongeBob Musical is set in the fictitious underwater town of Bikini Bottom and featured 28 actors and a backstage crew of 15 students in grades six, seven and eight, along with Long Beach High School stage crew volunteers.

Highlights of the show include singing and dancing of the irresistible characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks and many others who come together to save the fate of their undersea world.

Director and Long Beach Theater teacher Jordan Hue enjoyed working with the middle school students and feels the audience will enjoy the show very much. 

“Aside from being a lot of fun, the energy and enthusiasm of the students performing in this year’s middle school production is definitely inspiring,” he said.

He appreciated the dedication and commitment of all involved in making this year’s production a success.
