Squidward’s Legs, The Spongebob Musical

Midland Center for the Arts 2022

Designer: Scott Henze

The effect of the legs was achieved by plywood with “hinges” made of mending plates affixed to each side of the knee and ankle. The legs were then upholstered with batting and Lycra, and attached to a bum pad that the actor wore with suspenders and a strap of webbing around the waist. The tap shoes had a metal plate affixed to the heel to attach the front and back pairs while still keeping the taps functional. The plates were ultimately wrapped in black electric tape.
