Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Yes, You Finally Made A Monkey Out of Me

A King Kong Musical? MY GOD THEATER, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!

Global Creatures, the Aussie company behind arena tour "Walking With Dinosaurs," has begun work on its first Main Stem outing, "King Kong -- Live on Stage."

Score of the 40--performer production will comprise songs from the storyline's 1930s period arranged by composer, arranger and music producer Marius De Vries ("Kick-Ass," "Sucker Punch"), who also provides original music. The 20-foot-tall, animatronic incarnation of the title character won't be breaking out into song.

What!?! Forget what I said then; you don't know what I want at all!

(What I want is a show with songs that has titles like "Oh Monkey Monkey Monkey, Don't You Monkey Round For Love).

Full ridiculous story.
