Joey Votto Lends Vocals For Spongebob Musical At Local Children’s Theater

Joey Votto is taking his talents to Bikini Bottom — the Cincinnati Reds star is lending his voice for a local kids’ production of “The Spongebob Musical!!”

TMZ Sports has learned … the 2010 MVP has teamed up with The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati for its rendition of the show based on the hit Nickelodeon series — officially joining the cast as the iconic “French Narrator.”

Of course, Votto is fluent in French after growing up in Toronto … so the guy won’t have to work too hard on nailing the accent.

The first baseman won’t be present when the kiddos take the stage October 14-23, but the production company says the work he put into his role will be a treat for everyone involved … including the folks in the seats.

“We are so thankful to Joey Votto and his team for being a part of the 23-24 TCT Season,” TCT CEO Kim Kern said. “Our audiences will enjoy hearing a Cincinnati icon bring this character to life.”
