Kong's Night Out

This is the story of what happened in the hotel room next to the room where Ann (played in the 1933 movie by Fay Wray) was whisked out of bed and into the Manhattan night by King Kong.

Myron Siegel is a low-end Broadway producer who desperately wants to be high-end. Trouble is, he has for his entire career been sabotaged by his archrival, Carl Denham, who Myron has just learned has booked a theatre directly across from where Myron's potential bonanza, Foxy Felicia, is about to open. Nobody knows what he's up to, but it's BIG!

Myron gathers his entourage—his sassy mother, his gangster henchman, his Hungarian backer and his wide-eyed niece straight off the bus from Buffalo—and concocts a plan to learn what the mystery show is about. He discovers that the show is about a monkey. A very large monkey.

Kong's Night Out premiered at the Lyric Stage Company in Boston in 2006.

Starting with Kong's Night Out, Domino will return to 100% capacity. Along with the increased capacity, we will no longer be checking for proof of vaccination, nor will we be conducting active screening questionnaires or taking contact tracing information. Our canteen remains closed, and masks will continue to be required at all times.

Please note that our Covid policies could change at any time—check back here for updates.
