“I’ve had a blast portraying live-action suburban buccaneer and
President of the SpongeBob SquarePants Fan Club, ‘Patchy the
Pirate,’ since the character’s first appearance in season two of
SpongeBob SquarePants way back in 2000,” said Kenny. “I loved The
SpongeBob Musical, and I was thrilled to be included in it both in
pre-recorded (‘French Narrator’) and songwriter (‘Best Day Ever’)
forms! But to now have the opportunity to actually step onstage and
perform alongside members of the original Broadway production is
truly a unique honor. It’s ‘meta times ten,’ and I think
Nickelodeon’s audience will really get a kick out of it!”
Today, Nickelodeon also revealed a first look of the special,
where the stakes are higher than ever, as SpongeBob and all of

undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just

center stage.
