Director James Williams said: “It’s great to be back with a joyous new production of SpongeBob the Musical: Youth Edition with our Young Company, supporting the talent and ambition of young people in Watford and beyond to the Three Counties.”

Watford Palace Young Company has been performing at Watford Palace Theatre for the past 20 years, with past productions including James & the Giant Peach, The Witches, and Peter Pan.

A £75 Production Fee payable towards some of the production costs will be required to be paid by those offered a place both in the show and behind the scenes. Watford Palace Theatre has a limited number of bursaries to offer young people from low-income households, or for whom finances would be a barrier to taking part.
