"KING KONG" AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE

Seeing "King Kong" on Halloween was the capstone of my honeymoon in Boo York City, My wife and I were thoroughly entertained for over two hours by the stagecraft and music,. Kong makes his appearance about a third of the way into the show, and the puppet alone is worth the price of admission. Much more awe inspiring than anything at the Universal Studios theme parks. We were in the seventh row, and when Kong stepped to the edge of the stage at one point, it is truly breath-taking. He is over 20 feet high and weighs more than a ton (it takes 14 puppeteers to seamlessly operate the giant ape). Kong is fierce but doesn't kill anyone in this telling, so take the kids, by all means, I was a little disappointed by the fight scene with a giant snake...I would have preferred a carnivore from "Walking with Dinosaurs." I find it troubling that so many critics panned "King Kong"...I'm a passionate fan of the 1933 film classic and embrace this musical completely. Go see it by April 14.

KONG IS MAGNIFICENT - AND FUN!

Trust audiences, this show is great and like nothing else on Broadway. Ignore some critics who don't know how to relax and enjoy the spectacular Kong, see if for yourself. You'll enjoy it and the Kong is amazing. Christiani Pitts is also wonderful with a strong Ann Darrow who's no damsel in distress now.

SPECTACULAR

Went to see this show nov 28. This show was visually stunning. the sets, the graphics and the giant king kong. the cast did a great job dancing and singing and the story followed the original film version. Kongs handlers did a tremendous job and received a standing ovation. It took a a huge effort to bring this to the broadway stage, and I for one enjoyed every minute of this epic love story. Go see it it was great!!!!!

AMAZING-KING KONG

King Kong is a very entertaining production for Broadway as you can get, no foul language or risk key scenes, pure Americana theater. This is a new direction for Broadway with Graphic and staging, the audience cheered Kong in many scenes and got a standing ovation at the end of the show. The critics of Broadway today have no idea what the American public wants and has a tendency to knock a show unless there are 4 letter words said all during the show. The reviews of newspaper were uncalled for with little mention of the brains that went into putting this show together. The graphics alone should win an Tony award, again I say, if you want pure entertainment and not a message go see King Kong, you will walk out of the theater saying one word, WOW This is a correct review given by a True American theater lover.

EXCITING! SEE IT!

King Kong was great! The special effects, the lighting, the staging, the ingenious way they did the voyage, showed Kong going up the Empire State, the ending -- all were simply so creative and exciting to watch. The dancing was excellent, the 3 main actors were dynamic and charismatic. The only disappointment was the score. The music existed, but was un-melodious and not very memorable. Still, the show generally was thrilling and fun, and I would advise everyone to see it.

KING KONG

My husband and I went to see King Kong for my birthday in October. All I can say is Wow. Kong was awesome. They have done an amazing job. I thought Kong would be smaller and he is huge. We love the entire cast.

Prepare to be amazed

You don't have to explain who King Kong is to most! The iconic character became a household name from his first appearance in the 1933 film starring Fay Wray (Ann Darrow).
