'SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical' Soaks Up Four Awards At The 68th Annual Outer Critics Circle Awards

After securing 12 Tony Award nominations last week, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical today took four awards – more than any other musical – including top honors for best new musical at the 68th Annual Outer Critics Circle Awards! The Nickelodeon production plants the network’s iconic anthropomorphic sponge in the middle of his first Broadway caper.


The announcement comes as Viacom moves more deliberately into the live event space, translating its brands’ beloved characters and stories into immersive experiences that transcend the screen.

Here are the categories in which the Outer Critics Circle judges awarded top honors to SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical:

- Outstanding New Broadway Musical

- Best New Score – Jonathan Coulton, David Bowie and Brian Eno, Plain White T’s, T.I., Domani Harris, and Darwin Quinn, Brendon Urie of Panic! At the Disco, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman, Yolanda Adams, The Flaming Lips, Sara Bareilles, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Lady Antebellum, John Legend, They Might Be Giants, Andy Paley and Tom Kenny, Derek Drymon, Mark Harrison, Stephen Hillenburg, and Blaise Smith, and Tom Kitt

- Best Actor in a Musical – Ethan Slater (as SpongeBob SquarePants)

- Best Director of a Musical – Tina Landau*

Congratulations to all the cast and crew of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical! :)

The winners of the 68th Annual Outer Critics Circle Awards were announced today, Monday, May 7th, and the organization's annual Gala Awards Dinner and presentation of awards to the winners will be held on Thursday 24th May 2018 from 3PM at the legendary Sardi’s Restaurant.

Broadway awards season is just ramping up – SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical - the most nominated Broadway show during the 2017-2018 theater season - is still eligible for multiple honors from the Drama Desk Awards, which will announce its winners on Sunday 3rd June 2018, and the Tony Awards, which will air live on CBS on Sunday 10th June 2018.
