Creature from the Black Lagoon: A Raging, Rockin Show – Finale

The big finish includes reprises of songs heard earlier in the live musical show at Universal Studios Hollywood, plus the spectacular appearance of the Creature expanded to Kong-size proportion, leading to a hilarious sick joke for the punchline. Some people seem not to like the ending, and I can sort of understand why it would not work in a film, but on stage, where everyone comes out for the curtain call (even the characters who died), it works fine.
