Tina Landau, winner for Outstanding Director of a Musical for SpongeBob SquarePants:
“[I thank] my cast, my heroes for always being game. … This award is a recognition about what our show’s about and what we hold dear as a production the power of community … the need for joy in our lives always and now more than ever.”

In the press room: “I didn’t think we were going to get nominated for any awards at all. Period. Across the board. I just thought we weren’t that kind of show with that stamp of approval. So the first thing that shocked me were the reviews when we opened and the second thing was this wave of awards. It’s all icing on the cake because I’m so proud of this show, I’m so proud of what happens in that theatre every night with our audiences. I didn’t expect any of this, wasn’t wanting it, wasn’t hoping for it and what a surprise and how wonderful.”

Charles G. LaPointe, winner for Outstanding Wig and Hair for SpongeBob SquarePants:
“Thank you very much Drama Desks for recognizing our category and what we do. I get to work with my friends every single day. … I want to especially thank Tom Watson for teaching me to do what I do.”

Gavin Lee, winner for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical for SpongeBob SquarePants:
“Oh my God I’m so excited. … SpongeBob SquarePants on Broadway, who’d have thought. I had the same reaction you did when I first got my audition but boy was I wrong. It’s just the best show on Broadway to watch and to be in. We have the happiest family over at the Palace Theatre and it all starts with Tina Landau; she truly is the best leader of a company I’ve ever had. I also finally get to dance Chris Gattelli choreography. … Thank you so much Drama Desks, this is fantastic.

Ethan Slater, winner for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for SpongeBob SquarePants:
“I’m thoroughly blown away. … I think this show became something more than it had any right to be at the beginning and that’s because each step of the way we just tried to make it the best we possibly could. At the Palace Theatre I have some of the best friends. … Lilli Cooper and Danny Skinner, we get to save the world every night and that is an utter privilege.”

Later in the press room: “The first thing I did was text Danny because he’s been texting me, 'Do you know who won?' We’re freaking out via text at the moment. That feel particularly good because we’ve poured a lot of energy and positivity and creativity into this show that could be way less than what it is, and I think we’ve created something surprising and special and it’s an acknowledgment of the work of the whole company, not the individuals doing it, but the way we worked together and that’s what the show’s about.”

Susan Vargo, winner for Outstanding Musical for SpongeBob SquarePants:
“Before any of you people asked why we wanted to do this, we asked ourselves how and then we found the incomparable Tina Landau. Every human who has come in contact with our show has brought an open mind and an open heart and every inch of optimism they had.”


A huge congratulations to the cast and crew of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical! :)

Make sure to tune into The View on Tuesday, June 5 at 11am ET/PT for a special performance of "(Just A) Simple Sponge"!

YTV in Canada to Debut 'Star Falls' in September 2018

Corus Entertainment today announced during its 2018 Usfront that YTV will premiere the brand-new live-action series Star Falls in September 2018!


Created by George Doty IV (iCarly, Victorious, Drake & Josh, Max & Shred, Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster), Star Falls centers on Sophia, a strong-willed teen who persuades a Hollywood movie star and his family to live in her house while he shoots a movie in town, all with the hopes of setting him up with her mom. But the star’s three kids find their new rural life is a drastic change from the L.A. lifestyle they’re accustomed to. Everyone’s lives are hilariously turned upside down as the kids struggle to help their parents find love and adjust to what could be their new life. Co-produced by Nickelodeon and YTV, season one of Star Falls features twenty 30-minute episodes. Star Falls was filmed in Canada by Breakthrough Entertainment during summer 2017.


Below is Corus' official show description for Star Falls:

"Star Falls is a single camera family comedy set in an idyllic small town. The show revolves around a mom and daughter who are best friends, but whose lives are upended when a big Hollywood movie shoots in their quaint town and the daughter schemes to create a romance between her mom and the film’s superstar male lead. Only the daughter’s plan works a little too well and suddenly she’s forced to share a house with not only the actor, but his three celebrity children as well!"


In the series premiere, "The Celebrity Setup" (#101), when Sophia rescues the dog of Hollywood star Craig Brooks, she seizes the opportunity to set her mom up with him. When that doesn't work, she takes things a step further and has the star and his three kids move in with them!


Star Falls stars Siena Agudong (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Alex & Me) as Sophia Miller, Kamaia Fairburn (Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B) as Diamond Brooks, Tomaso Sanelli (The Passenger) as Nate Rex, Jadiel Dowlin (Annedroids) as Phoenix Brooks and Marcus Cornwall as Bo Brooks.



Star Falls made its world premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday 31st March 2018, and is currently rolling out onto Nickelodeon channels around the world.

Poland Bans 'The Loud House' Episodes Featuring Harold And Howard McBride

Following the homosexuality-in-children controversy in Africa over the last couple of years, which resulted in the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) "banning" several children's television shows, including Nickelodeon's The Loud House, The Legend of Korra and Hey Arnold! as they ridiculously ruled that the shows 'promoted homosexuality' last year, and Nickelodeon Africa being forced to censor The Loud House episode “Overnight Success”, in which Lincoln's best friend Clyde is dropped off for a sleepover by his two dads, Harold and Howard McBride, a year earlier, another country has decided to follow suit - Poland.


When the Polish conservative group Ordo Iuris - which is sort of a Polish equivalent of One Million Moms - found out that The Loud House (locally titled Harmidom) was portraying a family with two dads in a positive light, they applied to the Krajowej Rady Radiofonii i Telewizji, Poland's National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) for a response, claiming that the series was corrupting family values. Ordo Iuris argued that portraying homosexuality in a positive light went against Article 18 of the Konstytucji RP, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which states that a "marriage, being a union of a man and a woman, as well as the family, motherhood and parenthood, shall be placed under the protection and care of the Republic of Poland". Ordo Iuris also argued that The Loud House contravened article 18 of Poland's radio and television broadcasting act, which states that "programmes or other broadcasts shall respect the religious beliefs of viewers/listeners, particularly the Christian system of values".

Unfortunately, Ordo Iuris' arguments against The Loud House were successful, resulting in the Krajowej Rady Radiofonii i Telewizji asking Nickelodeon Polska to 'avoid the broadcast of materials presenting a family model contrary to the model that is protected in Poland', barring Nickelodeon Polska from airing any episodes of The Loud House featuring Harold and Howard McBride.

'Mr. Krabs' Tells Saint James, MD Graduates: Follow Your Passion

Actor Clancy Brown, best known as the voice of Mr. Krabs on Nickelodeon's hit animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, surprised Saint James School's Class of 2018 on Sunday when, near the end of his keynote speech, he switched to Mr. Krabs voice!


Many graduates couldn't help but burst into grins and laughter.

Then Brown asked them to sing a chorus of "Class of 18" after every line he sang from a version of the iconic SpongeBob SquarePants theme song, rewritten for the occasion.

"Who's listened and studied and written and read?," Brown sang in Krabs' voice.

"With big ol' ideas knockin' round in your head?"

"If this speech being over is something you wish,"

"Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish."

Brown reminded the audience that this graduating class doesn't know a world without the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants, which made its debut in 1999.

The Rev. D. Stuart Dunnan, the headmaster, said he invited his friend and St. Albans School graduating classmate to give the commencement address because Brown exemplifies the value of a liberal-arts education. Brown is hasn't been corrupted by his success, Dunnan said.

In addition to his voice work for SpongeBob, Thor: Ragnarok, and various video games, Brown was in the films The Shawshank Redemption, Starship Troopers and Highlander.

Brown, who recently saw his daughter graduate from college, talked about the hopes, dreams and academic accolades parents wish for their children.

Those thoughts assuage parents' fears and anxiety over the "unknowable future" for their children, he told the graduates.

"I'm sure my parents had no idea that I would be making funny voices for the rest of my life," Brown said.

He encouraged graduates to explore their options and find their passion in life.

Referring to their education at Saint James in Maryland, Brown said, "You have the tools now to do that."

Alexia Tiches, 18, of Hagerstown has some exploring to do.

The daughter of Charles and Tess Tiches told the Herald-Mail Media that she's planning to study English at Kenyon College in Ohio, but has varied interests, so she hasn't decided on a major yet.

Thinking of the moment, Alexia said she is "happy to leave, but also sad at the same time because I've been here for five years."

"I guess I'm feeling loved, which is, like, kind of corny but it's true," she said.

Tiches was one of 44 graduates from the private, co-ed, Episcopalian boarding school south of Hagerstown. Thirteen grads were from the local area, mostly from Washington County.

Eric Fishkin, 18, the son of David and Judy Fishkin, said he's "grown a lot as a person here." The Hagerstown resident said he'll miss friends and relationships he made at Saint James the most.

Joseph George, 18, of Williamsport, plans to pursue a pre-med track at Davidson College in North Carolina. He wants to be a doctor, perhaps a flight surgeon.

Whether he also joins the military might depend on his medical eligibility, said Joseph, the son of Joe and Catherine Ann George.

George had open-heart surgery about two years ago to address a birth defect.

"The community just surrounded me and really helped me through it," he said.

Congrats Class of 2018! :)
