Young Thelma (Eili Harboe) has finally left her family’s remote lakeside home and is heading to college in Oslo, where she’ll find a whole new world of love and reality-deforming psionic eruptions.

by
SpongeBob the Musical

(The genius psychedelic set and costumes are by David Zinn.) But the wildly entertaining new musical also offers sage lessons in how to save civilization in the face of doom. So.
