CODA Presents: The SpongeBob Musical 🍔

Join the Company of Dramatic Arts (CODA) for The SpongeBob Musical, a colourful, laugh-out-loud and unexpectedly heartfelt underwater adventure that proves even the most unlikely hero can make a world of difference! Deep beneath the waves, the beloved residents of Bikini Bottom are facing their greatest challenge yet. When a nearby volcano threatens to destroy their underwater home, panic spreads through the community and hope begins to fade. With time running out, it's up to SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks and their friends to come together, overcome their differences and discover that saving the world might just take a little optimism, a lot of friendship and one very determined yellow sponge. Bursting with larger-than-life characters, spectacular musical numbers and an electrifying score featuring original songs by David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, Panic! At The Disco and more, The SpongeBob Musical is a celebration of individuality, friendship and the extraordinary power of community. Whether you've grown up with SpongeBob and his friends or are diving into Bikini Bottom for the very first time, this larger-than-life musical promises an unforgettable theatrical experience filled with laughter, heart and plenty of nautical nonsense!

Help CODA find a home in Sydney’s Inner West We’re raising funds towards the deposit to purchase a permanent studio and creative home for CODA in Sydney’s Inner West, on Gadigal Land. A place where our community can rehearse, train, create, build, learn and grow together. We’re dreaming of rehearsal and training studios filled with music and movement, a dedicated set workshop where we can build and paint our productions, space for our costumes, props and equipment, and rooms where classes, workshops, auditions, creative developments and new ideas can happen every day.

More than anything, we want to create a permanent home for accessible theatre in the Inner West - somewhere that brings youth, community and independent theatre together under one roof, and gives people a place to find theatre, and keep finding it, throughout every stage of their lives. Donate now to our Go Fund Me!

Company of Dramatic Arts acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the traditional custodians of Australia. We pay respect to their elders, past and present. The land on which we gather, rehearse, perform, and live was never ceded, and we recognise the ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this land. For thousands of years, this land has been a stage, where stories have been performed, connecting communities through time. CODA is a celebration of diverse stories, and we acknowledge the history and culture of Indigenous communities. We stand in solidarity with the truth that this land was stolen, never ceded. Thank you for joining us on this journey, where we value inclusivity, understanding, and respect for the rich heritage that shapes our shared experiences.
