Rehearsals are officially underway for the highly-anticipated Broadway musical adaptation of King Kong
. The larger than life production stars A Bronx Tale favorite Christiani Pitts as Ann Darrow and an incredible Sonny Tilders-created creature that combines puppetry and animatronics as the title character. The award-winning and groundbreaking puppetry design is unlike anything ever seen on a stage before; it weighs more than a ton and takes 13 puppeteers to bring to life.
Take a look at the different videos of this massive 20-foot beast in action and how exactly he's created.
