Quotation Mark

Children should feel free to take their parents to Tina Landau’s psychedelically inspired version of the whimsical kiddie cartoon show that’s been making a fortune for Nickelodeon since 1999. Kyle Jarrow’s book retains the two key elements of the Nicktoon: the cheerful sea sponge’s unquenchable optimism and his selflessly heroic efforts to rescue his friends from whatever problems happen to pop up. But Landau’s hallucinogenic stagecraft transcends the show’s television origins by speaking a visual language that’s three-dimensional and boldly theatrical.

There’s a breakout star turn, to boot. At the center of the musical based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon is Ethan Slater, a powerhouse performer who brings real emotion to the character. That’s something when you’re playing a square yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple with a meowing pet snail on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. The Broadway rookie delivers athletic, aerobic, over-the-top joy.

And it is to the credit of Tina Landau and Ethan Slater, respectively the determined, big-hearted director and the charming, gifted star of “SpongeBob SquarePants” which opened, hopefully, Monday night at the Palace Theatre, that they have stayed relentlessly focused not only on the show’s famously goofy optimism but on its happily anarchic aesthetic. Whatever price that involved paying.
