Trivia
In order to fit the TV length, some minor aspects of the stage show were cut: The original prologue of Patchy the Pirate crashing the show was replaced by an animated prologue of the SpongeBob characters about to watch the show using previously animated footage from the policy trailer, made in conjunction with ScreenVision Media, with some new lines dubbed in. The boulders from the volcano were initially represented by giant bouncy balls coming from Rube Goldberg devices from both sides of the stage, unfortunately, the theater could not accommodate said devices. The second reprise of "Bikini Bottom Day" at the beginning of act II was removed. Due to time, the beginning of the third verse of "Best Day Ever" was cut. In the original stage show, the SpongeBob theme song happened after the curtain call, but due to time, the theme song is sung right after the "Bikini Bottom Day" finale, followed by a proper curtain call.

Quotes
SpongeBob SquarePants: If you don't stop this, it won't matter either way. There won't be anything left to save!
Squidward Q. Tentacles: Deep thought, SpongeBob, but Bikini Bottom...
SpongeBob SquarePants: I'M NOT FINISHED!

Alternate versions
After the initial version aired, it was trimmed down for reruns to about an hour and a half, cutting " No Control", "Daddy Knows Best", "Poor Pirates", the opening of act 2, "Bikini Bottom Boogie", and "(I Guess I) Miss You".

10/10

Great for all ages

10 out of 10 is not an easy thing for me to say about something, but this was an incredible show. You're not bored at all. The singing will give you goosebumps. Whether your 6th row orchestra seats like me or watching from the big screen at home, this will make you want to get up and dance. This show is great for people ages 3-99. It's an amazing experience and a whale of a time. You will not be disappointed at all.
