Show People With Paul Wontorek

Skeptics who rolled their eyes at the thought of Nickelodeon’s hit animated series SpongeBob SquarePants heading to Broadway were quickly silenced when they experienced the talent of triple threat ETHAN SLATER. In less than a year, the young talent has gone from fresh-faced Broadway newcomer to 2018 Tony nominee, Outer Critics Circle Award winner and two-time Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner. His energetic performance in the role of SpongeBob SquarePants has wowed both audiences and critics. Not unlike the delightfully zany production he stars in, Slater has proven that the Bikini Bottom director Tina Landau has created at the Palace Theatre is a lot more than burgers and bubbles. This show, boasting 12 Tony nominations, has proven that it's not just a simple Great White Way show: it's a contender and more. Slater recently discussed making the optimistic yellow cartoon his own, learning about loss, counting his blessings and other takeaways on Show People with Paul Wontorek.
