You’ve never seen a puppet like #KingKong before. At 20 feet tall and 2,000 pounds, he’s monstrous — but, his creators hope, also moving. King Kong arrives next month as the title character in @kingkongbway, a $35 million musical that has been in development for nearly a decade. He’s being brought to life by an animatronic ape unlike any puppet Broadway has seen before — a moving sculpture, with sad eyes and a fearsome roar, requiring 14 performers, as well as 16 microprocessors, to operate. The massive marionette doesn’t burst into song or break into dance, but instead knuckle-walks and vocalizes like an actual silverback. “When we first made eye contact, he roared and I started sobbing — he doesn’t look like he belongs in the space, and that’s the most heartbreaking thing about him,” said @christianiworld, the actress playing Ann Darrow, whose relationship to Kong forms the heart of the musical. It takes a team of 10 onstage performers, dubbed the King’s Company, to manually move his limbs. (See them at work in this video by @ezrahurwitz.) And they’re not alone.
