Snollygoster! What a fantastic word! Isn't it amazing?! And here comes the very best part. . . . It's a REAL WORD! Oh yeah, you read correctly! Snollygoster is most certainly a real wonderful word. So, what in the word does it mean? Guess! Guess! Please, go ahead and guess! (keep 'em guessin, right?) AnYwAy, now that you have all mentally submitted your hypothesises, I will reveal the answer! If you guess that snollygoster is a Russian type of stiletto heel, you are absolutely wrong! Haha sorry, and it's not a British expression meaning "Oh My!" either.

SpongeBob the Musical was a joyful celebration of friendship, hope, and goodness. The whole cast and crew put forth beautiful efforts and talents to make a spectacular show. Central to the show's success was the actress playing Sandy Cheeks, Nicole Ortiz. It is clear that Ortiz has innate talent and charisma that must have made her a clear choice in casting. However, the incredible amount of effort this role took to master can only be estimated as immense. With high kicks, impeccable flips, and being the most polished dancer on stage, the physical feat was truly a spectacle to witness. This is not to be overshadowed by her spectacular vocal power.
