King Kong song birds show us how it’s done

The cast of King Kong will say goodbye to Skull Island and their multi-million dollar leading man this weekend as the production draws its final curtain on Sunday 16 February at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre. 

But the music of King Kong’s quartet boys – Ross Hannaford, Dean Vince, Andy Cook and Scott McConnell – will live on.

These talented musicians, along with musical director Daniel Edmonds, have recorded a fabulous arrangement of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’ in the auditorium of the Regent Theatre last week, and I loved it so much, I had to post it.

This is what can happen when so many talented performers end up in the one theatre for an extended period of time!
