Christ’s College stars soak up SpongeBob Musical roles
13 Feb 2025
Six of College’s promising performers will be centre stage at the new Court Theatre, bringing The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition to life at the stunning central city site.
Running from 1–13 July, The SpongeBob Musical invites the audience to dive into an ‘all-singing, all-dancing, dynamic stage show’ based on the animated series. An uplifting, energetic tale of friendship and staying positive, the musical features cartoon standouts SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Squidward, and Electric Skate, with Christ’s College students – from Years 9–13 – starring in both casts.
Year 12 Julius House student Charlie Wood says The SpongeBob Musical “promises to be a fantastic adventure, packed with music and laughter”.
“It features six incredible boys from College, and will open in the shiny new Court Theatre building. I can’t wait to share the magic and joy of this crazy show with everyone.”
For Year 11 Corfe House student Cole Moffatt, “bringing the exuberant character of SpongeBob SquarePants to life is a dream”.
“The songs are brilliant and the sheer joy of the show will captivate everyone,” he believes. “The whole show bubbles with excitement.”
Year 12 Condell’s House student Bill Cross says it is his “first crack at a main role in a musical and my first show with The Court Theatre, so I’m thrilled to be playing the role of Patrick Star in an amazing musical”.
Year 9 student Basil Clarkson (Somes), who takes on the role of Electric Skate, is “excited to be performing on a brand new stage with some of my favourite people” while both Year 12 student Oscar Stove (Jacobs) and Year 13 student Alex Johnston (Somes) are looking forward to playing the aptly named octopus Squidward.
“I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful musical and I am especially enthusiastic about being in one of the first shows in The Court Theatre’s new venue,” Oscar adds. “We are both looking forward to bringing this vivacious character to life.”
