Larry the Lobster is a minor character in SpongeBob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical. A stage adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon, the show premiered on Broadway at the Palace Theater in 2017.

Pearl Krabs is a character in SpongeBob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical. A stage adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon, the show premiered on Broadway at the Palace Theater in 2017. Pearl is the high-spirited yet overdramatic teenage daughter of Mr. Krabs. In the musical, she wants to become a rock band singer, not manager of the Krusty Krab like her father hopes. Jai’len Christine Li Josey portrayed Pearl in the Broadway production. You can stick with a cheerleader uniform, which is what her costume is based on, or go more accurate to the musical with a light pink tennis dress and iron on a “P” varsity letter. For added accuracy, use the black fabric paint to create the stripes on her jacket.

Old Man Jenkins is a minor character in Spongebob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical. A stage adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon, the show premiered on Broadway at the Palace Theater in 2017.

Mrs. Puff (played by Abby C. Smith) is a character from Spongebob the Musical.  She is a pufferfish.  As a teacher in Bikini Bottom, Mrs. Puff helps students like SpongeBob SquarePants learn to drive boats as a means of underwater transportation.  In the Broadway musical, Mrs. Puff wears a bright blue jacket with polka dots and a pillbox hat to match.  To recreate her appearance from the stage production, focus on finding a coat in your budget that has a bit of flare to the bottom.  Layer it over a red petticoat skirt and blue and green striped tights.  Mrs. Puff’s accessories include an oversized pearl necklace, teal gloves, and Mary Jane shoes.  Finish the look with blue eyeshadow and red lipstick.

Karen Plankton is the computer wife of Sheldon J. Plankton in The SpongeBob Musical.  Karen is a computer and, alongside her husband, tries to trick the residents of Bikini Bottom.  Karen’s look in the musical is very different from the ordinary computer screen in the original cartoon series.  To recreate the costume, you’ll want to focus on the futuristic aesthetic.  Karen wears green tights, silver boots, and silver wraparound glasses.  A futuristic space explorer costume is a good stand-in for an official Karen costume, but you can also get close with a silver skirt and a draped top.  Finish the look with a purple wig of your choice and some frosty lilac lipstick.

In SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical, the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom find themselves in peril as a volcano called Mount Humongous threatens to erupt and destroy the town. SpongeBob endeavors to save his beloved home and his friends. For the Broadway Musical, SpongeBob’s costume has been revamped with a yellow checkered shirt and plaid pants, compared to SpongeBob’s costume in the original run at the Oriental Theater in Chicago, and his design in the Nickelodeon series.

In the SpongeBob Musical, Sheldon J. Plankton is the owner of the Chum Bucket and a rival to Mr. Krabs, the boss of SpongeBob SquarePants at the Krabby Patty. In the Broadway version of the character, Plankton wears an eye patch to give himself one eye.

In the SpongeBob Musical, Mr. Krabs is a greedy crab who happens to be SpongeBob SquarePants’s boss at the Krusty Krab restaurant. The musical brilliantly dresses his crab claws using oversized red boxing gloves.
