Yes! We Have a Big Monkey

Monkey musical King Kong arrives in Melbourne.

Tucked away at the end of this report by Alison Croggon in the Guardian is something about the score, which apparently is an eclectic mix of old and new songs:

“We want to create a show for a new generation of theatregoers,” says director Daniel Kramer. “And we want to create a piece of music theatre that pushes the art form forward.”

If by "art form" he means musical theatre, that might be difficult with a bunch of old songs. If, on the other hand, he means simian spectaculars I think he's onto something. I only hope the eclecticism of the score stretches to "Yes! We Have No Bananas":
