KING KONG - Previews — Page 10

This, Getting the Band Back Together, and Head Over Heels, have no business being on a Broadway stage. They never should've come to Broadway.

If someone wants to put up the money, then literally any production can be on Broadway, regardless whether it had a bad tryout or no tryout at all. There have been crap shows and flops since the dawn of Broadway history. In the end, it's the audiences that decide what shows have business being on a Broadway stage by their ticket purchases. How we personally feel about shows has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not they deserve to be on Broadway.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment. It actually took me over an hour to move my thoughts to the written word.

I should have added in my review..... I took my 9 year old son to the second performance I went to and he absolutely loved it. Wasn't scared at all. Only the loud sound effects at times made him stick his fingers in his ears.

What's the "prop" on the right? I can't seem something there that was out of place."

Whether you've been here one day or ten years, your opinion on a show is welcome here. However, you hurt your cause when, right out of the gate, you insult those who disagree with you. Among those you accuse of having a "limited capacity" are some very well-respected members of this board.

I'm looking forward to seeing the King Kong puppet, and hopefully being pleasantly surprised by the rest of the production, next month.

Same here! It looked like someone forgot to pay the light bill or something. Didn't like that at all.

All these bizarre reviews make me really want to see this.

Good lord, what an epic dumpster fire of a musical.

That comment immediately makes me think of Hot Feet. It can't be worse than Hot Feet. Or Brooklyn! Certainly, it's not worse than Brooklyn, is it?

Those productions at least followed a somewhat traditional musical construction with actual songs. King Kong has maybe 3 or 4 songs at most Everything else is just random underscoring, 5 lines here or there, or some weird techno dance floor number. The singing is completely uneccessary here. There were a few cool underscoring moments while Kong was running through the streets, though

I agree with jordan in that it’s hard to review this show because it’s just so utterly incomprehensible and inconceivable. The choreographer made Rob Ashford’s work look subtle and the singing was severely lacking. The gorilla was by far the best performer on the stage (ouch!).

What makes this all so much more confusing is that the artistry and wizardry that went into creating the actual puppet, and the athleticism of the puppeteers is absolutely incredible.

musikman - Everything you said sounds infinitely better than what I watched happen on stage in Thou Shalt Not.
