Global Pictures and Roy Furman are teaming up to produce a Broadway adaptation of King Kong, which will premiere at the Shubert Organization’s Broadway Theater in the fall of 2018.
King Kong is written by Jack Thorne with the score composed and produced by Marius de Vries and songs written by Eddie Perfect. Drew McOnie will be directing and handling the choreography. The creature design work will be handled by Sonny Tilders.
Global Pictures CEO Carmen Pavlovic states, “I’m thrilled that King Kong will be coming to Broadway next season led by Drew McOnie and Jack Thorne, who will bring a new dimension to the telling of Kong’s story. Drew’s physical world will allow Kong to live in ways we never thought possible, propelled by Jack’s text and the score and songs written by Marius de Vries and Eddie Perfect.”
Furman adds, “King Kong is a quintessential New York story, and I’m proud to be involved in this historic production. Our team is creating a theatrical experience that we hope will astound audiences, while delighting them with its heartfelt storytelling.”
