On Broadway!

There are a few shows that are perfect for youth this summer at Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. For one, Nickelodeon’s The Spongebob Musical: Youth Edition. This action-packed show runs from June 12 through June 27, 2025. “SpongeBob SquarePants, the world’s most lovable sponge, Patrick (his trusty sidekick), and the rest of the quirky residents, like Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward J. Quincy Tentacles of the undersea state, Bikini Bottom, must come together to save their town from a volcanic eruption. With catchy songs, vibrant dances, and plenty of hilarious moments, this show is a perfect treat for kids and families,” says Director of Sales and Marketing Kathy Bernier.  So, “Ahhhhrrrrrr ya ready, kids?” Tickets can be purchased online at BroadwayPalm.com, at 239-278-4422, or in person at the box office. Lunch and show tickets are just $25 for all ages, with discounts available for groups of 20 or more. The buffet offers kid-friendly choices and desserts.  

“Don’t miss this splashing good time—grab your tickets and join the fun with SpongeBob and friends!” adds Bernier. 

Later this summer, the Main Theatre presents everyone’s favorite orphan—Annie—from July 3-August 9, 2025. Optimistic Annie and her dedicated dog, Sandy, work their way through another great story with Oliver Warbucks and that mean Miss Hannigan. Annie is based on the 1925 comic strip Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray.
