King Kong
A Melbourne-only tale of a beauty and a beast live on stage.
Overview
The story of a beauty and a beast has sparked interest in audiences for generations, as has the tale of the unlikely hero. Giant gorillas, less so, but when you put them all together, with a musical number and a Melbourne-only season. You’re onto a winner.
King Kong, the first musical stage adaptation of the classic story, is bringing a 6 metre-long, 1 tonne puppet to life, along with 40 other actors, singers, dancers and performers. The 1930s story sees a film crew run into trouble when the giant silverback gorilla falls for the leading lady. In a quest for fame and fortune, they bring Kong back to New York City.
The 2013 stage show brings lighting, dance, song and a really big puppet together seamlessly.
