Two tickets to King Kong the musical.
On Thursday the 1st of August I’m going to see the Melbourne Production of King Kong at the Regent Theatre. This is exciting for me as I have not delved into the world of stage performances much, but have been to numerous school productions and read plays throughout high-school and enjoyed them thoroughly. From what I have read, the show is incredibly crafted and visually stunning.
Most expert reviews have said similar things to this review from The Age, that it is an amazing show, however without the puppetry the show would not stand up on it’s own. I don’t particularly have any knowledge of theatre however, so I’m sure the show will be entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. Perhaps even a first step into a long history of theatre-going.
Interestingly enough the review from The Age criticised the use and treatment of women in the production, saying that it was ironic from a story that critically commentated on the abuse and poor treatment of animals. This is something I haven’t heard yet, so it will be interesting to see how the show pans out. I will post my own “review” of sorts after I have seen the show.
