King Kong

began life as an Australian production, taking around five years to go from an idea to the stage. Marius de Vries, who has worked on

Moulin Rouge!

,

Romeo and Juliet

and later

La La Land

, composed the music for the play, while playwright Craig Lucas wrote the book and lyrics. The centerpiece of the musical, however, is a 20-foot-tall animatronic gorilla created by Creature Technology Company. The one-ton beast features 985 feet of electrical cable and 1,500 connections, requiring a large team to control its lifelike movements.

King Kong

made its worldwide debut at the

Regent Theatre

in Melbourne, Australia, June 15, 2013, and closed after nine months. To adapt the musical for Broadway, Jack Thorne, who won the 2018 Tony Award for Best Play with

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

, made major modifications to the book and lyrics. The resulting musical made its New York premiere at the

Broadway Theatre

Nov. 8, 2018, and then closed Aug. 18 of the following year. The original Broadway production received three Tony Award nominations for Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical and Best Sound Design of a Musical. Sonny Tilders and Creature Technology Company won a Special Tony Award for their work on the animatronic character.

'What should I expect from a King Kong performance?'

'

King Kong

is one of Broadway’s largest spectacles. Given the complexity of the technology involved in Kong's elaborate movements (for example, the fight with the cobra or the climbing of the Empire State Building), there are few musicals like it on the stage. Attendees are encouraged to clap, cheer and laugh along with the story. The running time for

King Kong

is approximately two hours and 30 minutes with a single intermission between the first and second acts.
