King Kong: The Stage Musical

King Kong Heading to the Stage in a Musical
Source:Variety
October 19, 2011


King Kong is making his way to the stage. Except, unlike the feature films, he's not going to leap off and starting flinging people around.

A musical is in the works with tunes by Marius de Vries, best known to some for his music in Romeo + Juliet. The show is being prepped for Melbourne, Australia and is expected to bow in 2013.

Bringing this Kong venture to life is Global Creatures, who brought BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs to life in a touring arena show. The producers discovered the original '32 novel was public domain, allowing them to run with the stage adaptation and skirt any legal problems involving the Merian C. Cooper film.

The Cooper estate, however, gave the production its blessing.
