 Gordon Barr and Roger Domeneghetti of the Evening Chronicle described the show as " a silly riot of colour [ ... ] as you 'd have to expect from an adaptation of a cartoon TV show . " They lauded the song called " Ker Ching " performed by Mr. Krabs , saying " [ It ] stands out above the rest . " Viv Hardwick of the The Northern Echo said " Younger ones are just pleased to see a colourful collection of characters , vaguely resembling the ten year @-@ old TV show cast , cavorting around the stage . " Hardwick praised the role of Charles Brunton as Squidward Tentacles while John Fricker ( Patrick Star ) and Martin Johnston ( Mr. Krabs ) were said to " win the biggest costume contest . "
