King Kong to Close Nov 15

A near 9-month run for a musical is extremely good by Australian standards (especially when you consider they had a 6-month bump in prior to that as well). They extended 4 times in total. Remember this is country with a TOTAL population of 22 million (New York City alone has a population of over 8 million). And Kong had the added complication of not being able to tour Australia due to size of the production.
The theatre in which King Kong is playing (Regent Theatre) is booked by Wicked so Kong couldn't stay if they wanted to.
