King Kong the musical
The universally acclaimed film, King Kong, has officially hit Broadway. Lead producer Carmen Pavlovic and his accolade-filled creative team transformed the 86-year-old film into a prevailing musical. Olivier Award-winning book writer Jack Thorne and Olivier Award-winning director-choreographer Drew McOnie are a few of Carmen Pavlovic’s dream team. Costume designer Roger Kirk adds retro but bold colors on stage to battle against the gloomy backdrops and exciting terror of the misunderstood Kong. Eric William Morris (Mamma Mia!) is also along for the ride as Carl Denham.

Producers Ken Davenport and Hunter Arnold present Once on This Island. The Olivier Award-winner in Best Musical and Tony Award-winner in Best Revival of a Musical, is directed by Tony nominee Michael Ardenand. It was also choreographed by the critically acclaimed, Camille A. Brown.

A Bronx Tale musical on Broadway, co-directed by two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and featuring an appearance by Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri, was adapted from the latter’s 1989 solo play. The musical is “set against the backdrop of racial strife and organized crime in the 1960s. It is the story of an Italian-American teenager finding his path in life as he must choose between the father who raised him and a mob-boss father figure who fascinates him.”
