King Kong to Stomp Onto Broadway in December?

According to Gerry Ryan, chairman of Global Creatures, the production company producing the musical King Kong will be stomping onto Broadway in December 2014. After being a hit in Melbourne, the musical, which features a book by Craig Lucas and music by Sarah McLachlan, Massive Attack, and the Avalanches, will be looking for a home in a big Broadway house, with eyes on the Foxwoods Theater. If the Foxwoods does house the 20 foot tall puppet, it will be the second straight big budget extravaganza in the theater. What do you think? Is Broadway ready for the monkey musical?

Rumble in the Foxwoods Jungle?

Could there be an epic battle between a superhero and a giant gorilla over the coveted Foxwoods Theater? The producers of the upcoming giant-sized musical King Kong have eyes on the Foxwoods Theater when they plan to come to Broadway. The only thing standing in their way, their current tenant, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. While the Broadway Theater, another large house, is also an option, the producers of the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark state that they have no plans of leaving. Will this be a battle of money or will we get the privilege of seeing both huge musicals on Broadway at the same time?
