I wanna go!!
I checked and prices went up little since 1933: they went from $20 bucks to $175 on the low end!
Actually, that's not bad. Using an inflation calculator, $20 is about $380 in today's dollars. Quite the deal at $175.

I think a UMA theater night is in order. A group of hardcore Kong fans.
Oh, to be in New York.......

We can sit together. I bet we don't make it past the ship leaving New York harbor.
I wonder which Broadway Theater will show it.

Thanks Mike, I didn't read the fine print carefully.
My curiosity exists due to what I would expect are unique qualities necessary for a specific theater/ stage to host such a production.
The Broadway Theatre was formerly Universal's Colony Theatre, B.S. Moss' Broadway Theatre, Earl Carroll's Broadway Theatre, and Ciné Roma. It has a large seating capacity of 1,761, and unlike most Broadway theaters, it is actually located on Broadway. Kinda neat as I've never seen a Broadway show ON Broadway. Supposedly it has a especially deep stage.
