Posted: 10/15/18 at 2:16pmSince he’s getting such great reviews and since the show probably won’t last very long I got to thinking what other roles he can play?

I would love to see him as the witch in into the woods.
He might make a good jenna in waitress.

He would really benefit from color blind casting

Can his head just be Audrey II? Not sure how many stages would fit his body underneath, though.

I think he would make a great Hamilton. I could also see him as Pierre if Great Comet gets revived.
He would also be a great understudy for Moulin Rouge’s elephant (on the right side of the stage) when it opens next summer or fall. Just add some glitter and he’s good to go.

Given the extensive large-scale puppetry in Beetlejuice, maybe Adam Maitland can save the day by taming a giant ape instead of a Sand Worm.

I think the Weisslers will definitely want to get Kong into one of their shows. Perhaps as the next Roxie in Chicago? Would also like to see King Kong take on the role of Eliza DooLittle after Laura. Or is he too big to replace?

Phantom.
Those sensitive, sad eyes behind the mask. Imagine it. Then the reveal that he's really a 13ft gorilla puppet.

It would be brilliant casting against type if he was cast as Tarzan. It would be typecasting if he was cast as a gorilla in Tarzan.

His "Rose's Turn" would be retitled "Rose Slowly Turns 45 Degrees Stage Left."

Norma Desmond. I think his singing will be better than Glenn Close's.

It would give all new meaning to “Waving Through the Window” given that he literally can’t fit through the door.

If we have to stay within animal kingdoms, Rafiki in the Lion King...otherwise.....Asaka in Once on This Island.

That’s really racist. Haven’t you heard of colour blind casting?! Kong’s prospects are more than just Rafiki. How dare you.

Posted: 10/15/18 at 6:36pmI’ve heard Kong is going into Wicked after Jessica Vosk. Can you imagine his defying gravity?!
