- At Broadway Backwards 2018, Ethan Slater, the critically acclaimed actor in the titular role in SpongeBob SquarePants, turned a trendy Brooklyn party upside-down in an energetic performance of “The Lady is a Tramp” from Babes in Arms. The ensemble of fussy partygoers initially distanced themselves from their outsider guest before embracing the nimble Slater, lifting and flipping him in a flurry of glitter and confetti.

I feel guilty lusting after spongebob
༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I did not want that mental if image
We all are
You have many holes to pick from
Are ya’ll okay? Like...that last comment? No, just no.
@Lilette ESCAPE WHILE YOU CANNN!
Everyone is wearing black and white.
Then there's Ethan
Bringing color to life
“And what is twice as sad~”
“Your love life”
“ _Hgnaaaa_ ”
Burn!!!!!!
I felt that one
Ooooof.
Jeez imagine this kid's high school transcript.
"Hmmm. So you were on the wrestling team..... And ..... Musical theater?. What was your weight class?"
"Heavyweight tenor."
XD
Lmao XD
What was your weight class?
Sponge.
He is most definitely not a simple sponge
priscilla blanco this is my favorite thing
these are the facts. I came because I Stan SpongeBob the musical
He's not a good singer or dancer either, lets hope Ariana can do something for him eh
@@alexcn99what he did was extremely shitty, I agree, but you can't say he wasn't talented
@@TheMaestro1275yea people are just clearly hurt
HES NOOT A SIMPLE SPOONGE
3:50 Jesus this dude's RIPPED
Salty Pear Oh, yes. Imagine watching Spongebob and checking out his package in those spray on pants. Lol It’s a very physical role and he’s on stage most of the time so I can see how doing it 8x a week will get anyone ripped.
I don’t know why I read Jesus this dude ripped his pants🤣
I do remember an episode from season one where Sponge Bob wore those muscle balloons and another episode where he ripped his pants.
What I can tell you is that performers are always ripped. They need to be fit to do all the dancing and jumping. Dancers are the most fit of all performers. Now combine dancing, acting and singing, you've got yourself the ultimate ripped person lol
lmao seems like nobody else knows that he used to be a freaking good wrestler too!
i have officially declared ethan slater as the new broadway fave
Tessa Red I love him so much!
Same here!
period
Full stop Ex.cla.ma.tion point
I was looking for bronze. I found gold.
Oooooo! Like Dr. Frank N. Furter!
I exhaust myself just by watching them do all those choreographs... HOW ARE THEY NOT GASPING FOR AIR???
easy, don’t breathe. i haven’t since 2012 and im f
How?? Is he singing? So well? UPSIDE DOWN¿?¿
Rebecca Howarth He does the same thing in Spongebob, he’s incredible
Rebecca Howarth he’s a really good like gymnast
He sings better upside down it's strange
He actually did alot of preparation for his role in SpongeBob to be able to do that. It's amazing how talented he his.
You're actually more likely to sing better if you're upside down lmao
Every time I felt uncomfortable doing a song and it showed, my vocal coach would make me sing it upside down to 1. Show that I can reach those notes and 2. Make me loosen up the muscles that were too tight and hindering my singing. Those muscles really can't tighten up when you're upside down.
It makes you song out....wider and broader, if that makes any sense lol
The epitome of twunk excellence
it's a combination. twink. and hunk.
Superkaye123 TWINK AND HUNK GOT IT?!
Is there anything he CAN'T do? The answer is no.
He can’t be just a simple sponge
He can’t not be perfect
@@charliep123 That's a double negatiiiive!
IF ETHAN SLATER DOESN'T GET A TONY NOMINATION THIS SEASON THEN I'VE LOST HOPE FOR BROADWAY
There's hope yet.
he has a nomination, now he must WIN
MarioSonic24601 yikess
Ethan is the cutest human on the EARTH!!!!!!!!!
Preach!
Amen sister!
How come Ethan Slater can belt better than I can when he’s UPSIDE DOWN?!?
Singing upside down is a technique that some vocal coaches use to help their students improve their singing. The reason it works is because, while upside down, many parts of your throat get relaxed. This ultimately helps you sing better.
@@Mxyzptlksac question: how?
no one: not a living soul: Ethan flippin Slater upside down: "I READ eeEEVERY LIIIIINE"
“Ethan *Flippin* Slater”
Having Ethan Slater and the group of men who did that one performance of the Cell Block Tango in 2015 (not sure what their group is called) was a wonderful choice
I think that was christopher fitzgerald
Oh yeah, you're right! I could spot Marty Lawson, Joshua Buscher-West, and Alex Ringler.
*E T H A N*
S L A T E R
idk how to make it bold
Ethan is so talented I hope he goes far in life
and he has, he's spongebob in spongebob the musical ::))) I love him so much
Artistic crystal Light yeah I saw spongebob during previews and he was incredible I can’t wait to see him progress further on in his career
He should have sung it in third-person like Frank Sinatra
Then it would miss the whole point of Backward Broadway.
@@kndonehundredm3715 no, he did it as written.
I'm excited to see what Ethan does after Spongebob (I love sbtm don't get me wrong but I'm excited to see him as someone who could be a person) AND HE DID THE ELVIS IMPRESSION YES
Catie Tomlinson 卌 where’s the impression?
can i indulge you in his latest concept album?
owo look him up on spotify! it won't be disappointing!
@@shannar1260 2:47
I have some news.
Why can I see him winning Best Actor in a musical for this years Tonys. Oh, I know, because he is amazing. You go Ethan.
I have some unfortunate news
Sara Neese 😂
“What did you do over quarantine?”
Oh, I fell in love with broadway spongebob and watched an unhealthy amount of his performance videos. You know, normal things like that.
𝑭𝑹
And Ethan fell in love with Ariana Grande while having a wife and a new born baby, you know, normal things like that...
@@norijean3279 ㅠㅠ the me from three years ago is devastated, but the current me is honestly not surprised.

Honestly felt that. You have my condolences and I hope you find your love

This didn't age well
@@ssv2430 true!

Ethan's opera bit makes me swoon like a bobby soxer! I should know because I played one in my high school's production of "Guys and Dolls!"
WHEN ETHAN SINGS UPSIDE DOWN GIVES ME LIFE
I've been a fan of Ethan's for over half a decade now
