SpongeBob musical in the offing – David Bowie to provide music

Singer David Bowie is expected to provide music for the "rousing tale of a simple sea sponge who faces the unfathomable" which will open in Chicago. He would be one of the singers who has signed up to write a song for a new SpongeBob SquarePants musical.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 2 September 2015.

It will also feature songs from John Legend, Cyndi Lauper, The Flaming Lips, T.I. and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, among others and Nickelodeon has announced that it will produce the show in Chicago next summer.
Producers have branded it as a celebration of unbridled hope, unexpected heroes, and pure theatrical invention. In case this musical becomes a success, it could move to Broadway in New York.
SpongeBob SquarePants is an animated cartoon about a sea sponge who lives under the sea in a city called Bikini Bottom and it has won many awards and spawned a number of films. One of these movies is The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water and it was released in February.
Incidentally, children's material has successfully made the leap to stage on previous occasions like The Addams Family, Annie and Shrek.
