Madrid will be the first European city to get this show, in 2019.
It will be produced by Break A Leg Entertainment, who will also finance the construction of a theatre in Casa de Campo, which will be created to accommodate the size and technical requirements of the production.

This has been confirmed to be a joke. Remember today is our 'April Fools' in Spain. |

Haha, I had forgotten that, so hadn't realised this was a joke. 😂 I did also see this morning that Ghost The Musical will be coming to Madrid in October 2019. But I'll need to double check this too then. |

Perhaps it’s not doing so badly after all?

In reflection this was the best show I saw on Broadway on my last trip. I just wish the music had been better.

In terms of a ‘’Musical’’ this is genuinely the worst musical I have ever seen and I’ve seen some howlers over the years. It just doesn’t work as musical. The delays etc haven’t helped it’s development.
However as a spectacle it is very impressive. When Kong flies through the air it is a genuine wow moment. The closer you are to the front can mean you need to suspend your disbelief somewhat with the puppeteers bit it’s amazingly well done.
As a show I’m glad I saw it as a musical I was less than impressed.

I saw this last month. It’s a terrible musical in my opinion. Wasn’t impressed by any of the songs. I also found it over-choreographed (like a lot of Drew McOnie‘s work - I generally love his choreography but I always feel he doesn’t know when to stop). Plus I really wanted to like the leading lady but just didn’t.
However, I did love the puppet. For me it was worth seeing for the spectacle but as a musical it just doesn’t work.

First show of my New York trip, and it is truly a spectacular sight to be seen! The Kong puppet and the way they work it is just incredible. Visually, the show is incredible.
I loved the leading lady Christiani Pitts. Excellent vocals and she really committed to her performance. Choreography especially in the open was excellent. Overall a very strong ensemble cast.
The score isn’t too great but... who cares? I got more than I expected from this one.
Tickets - was front row of the orchestra for $49 rush. Only bought them at around 17:10. Theatre seemed pretty full!

Caught today's matinee. (4/13/19)
If you go into the show with the mind set, it's a... meh afternoon. The puppet is the whole show, it's exciting when it's on stage and when it's off, you wish it was on. To be honest, the puppet is one of the coolest set pieces I've seen on stage and Kong is so life like. The music and lyrics aren't good except "Queen of New York." Eddie Perfect must have some naughty pictures of some powerful producers because he shouldn't be involved with a musical, especially not two! The puppet will win best scenic design and maybe even lightening design.
The house was probably between 50-75% full, which is a bad sign for a Saturday Matinee. If you get a ticket for less then $75 go for it. Don't pay full price for this.
