This actually made me think... so we got Ann, we got Carl.... but has the "Jack" character been cut? Has the idea of a love triangle (If you want to call it that) been scrapped as a

They should just post the closing notice now"
SPOILERS AHEAD:
I will say that the chorus girl number in front of the curtain was very funny, with the dancers trying to smile through their increasing panic and tears, and one of them getting grabbed and dragged back under the curtain. The audience se
The puppet, the puppet, the puppet. It's almost insulting to call it a puppet...it's the most emotive, moving, REAL performance in the show. It is also possibly the best piece of technical stagecraft I have ever seen. Watching the operators fly around on their cables as they bring it to life is thrilling; watching its extraordinarily expressive face and eyes is breathtaking; watching it lean out over the front rows before rearin

Intermission report: weak songs, pedestrian script, adequate performances...but yeah, the puppet is spectacular, and has maybe the greatest stage entrance ever. It is just thrilling to watch every time Kong is on stage. And that actually might be enough to make this worth seeing.

28 musical numbers listed (14 in each act), of which 10 are orchestra only. Looks like Ann Darrow, Carl Denham, and Captain Englehorn are the only solo singing roles.

I got that ticket! Will report in after.

I think generally they like to wait until it's dark to start. The exception is Sunday nights, which they start at 7:30 (more family-friendly and keeps in mind those who have to work on Monday morning). I've been to some of the Sunday performances, and it is actually hard to get into the show until it gets darker.

I saw it Friday night and was hugely disappointed. There was some good - Scherzinger as Maureen (her flubbed second act opening was redeemed by a terrific "Take Me or Leave Me"), Leung as Angel, Astin as Mark, and Brady as Collins. I expected and wanted to like Tveit more as Roger, but he was surprisingly weak in the role. The guy playing Benny was absolutely horrible - a complete misfire. And Hudgens... stop being kind, people. She was awful. I actually covered my ears in "Out Tonigh
