One of the unsung heroes of SpongeBob SquarePants' success on Broadway is the show's foley artist Mike Dobson. Providing whimsical sound effects to the zany action in Bikini Bottom, Dobson helps transport the audience at the Palace Theatre under the sea to the incredible world created by Tina Landau and her team.
On Sunday night during the Creative Arts portion of the Tony Awards ceremony (conceived by Laura Heywood, Tonys Package Supervisor, & Jessie Rogowski, Video Editor), Dobson showed the audience at Radio City Music Hall just how valuable a quality foley artist can be to a production. Adding sound effects to clips from MY FAIR LADY, LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS, FROZEN, THE BAND'S VISIT, and more, Dobson upped the kookiness of each.
