Boy George's iconic musical Taboo will return for a special 20th anniversary charity staged concert at The London Palladium on 30th January and 31st January 2022. Produced by Adam Kenwright and co-created with Mark Davies Markham and Kevan Frost, it will be in aid of two charities: The Terrence Higgins Trust and Shelter.
Director Christopher Renshaw will return for the concert. The concert will reunite a variety of stars from the original West End and Broadway productions, members of the original company with exact casting to be revealed.
Set in an abandoned London warehouse, the partly imagined story of a
group of club 'names' set in the location of what was the city's most
fashionable nightclub, the now-legendary Taboo (1985-87) of the title,
which was the creation of Leigh Bowery. Boy George
is featured as one of the club's regulars, but in reality, George
rarely attended. The show also focuses on George's life prior to and
after achieving fame.
Plotting the lives of those who frequented the legendary Taboo club, the show originally featured artistes including Julian Clary, Luke Evans, Boy George, Dianne Pilkington, John Partridge, Matt Lucas, Paul Baker, Declan Bennett, Euan Morton, Lyn Paul and Stephen Ashfield.
