King of Kong: The Musical!

This 2 person satirical musical is a free-wheeling adaptation of the cult documentary film King of Kong, which followed two men on an epic quest to best one another in the 80’s arcade game Donkey Kong. This new, musical features original songs “Failure Is Just A Success That You Failed To Succeed At”, “What Billy Mitchell Wants Billy Mitchell Gets”, and “A Fistful Of Quarters Is A Fistful Of Dreams”. Audiences will laugh-out-loud at this night of music and comedy inspired by Donkey Kong himself.

Amber Ruffin is Billy.
Directed by Brendan Hunt.
Music and Lyrics by David Schmoll and Amber.
Written by LVK and Amber.
King of Kong: The Musical! is a Dan Wessels idea.
