KING KONG Makes His Debut on Australian Stage at Melbourne's Regent Theatre!

BWW TV Must Watch: One of the most anticipated stage debuts in recent Australian history has just been revealed as creature Designer Sonny Tilders' incredible 6 metre, 1.1 tonne silverback King Kong made his public debut today at Melbourne's Regent Theatre ahead of his first preview performance on 28 May. Check out two numbers below form the press preview, including 'Full Moon Lullaby' featuring Kong and Esther Hannaford as Ann Darrow Music by Marius de Vries and Lyrics by Michael Mitnick, and 'The Chase' featuring Kong with Music by Marius de Vries sampling Justice's 'Genesis'. The culmination of five years of development by Australian producer Global Creatures, Kong brings together the worlds of animatronics and puppetry to provide a subtlety of expression that has never been seen on stage. Kong is entirely Melbourne-made and hits the stage 80 years since the original Merian C. Cooper movie premiered.
