Synopsis The press release
says it all:
"Americans will be delighted
that the 53rd state is sending an award-winning West End musical to
New York to lighten the mood. After all, nothing beats news of an
upcoming, fast-moving, razzmatazz-rich musical entertainment when
you’re trying to take your mind off impending Armageddon
"The entertainment in question
is Boy George’s big Brit-hit TABOO, which has been packing in the
punters and eliciting high praise from the press for well over a
year at London’s previously long-secret subterranean space, The
Venue
"The show is Broadway bound. It
hits the 1,000-seat Plymouth Theatre on West 45th Street, in
October. Boy George himself will be strutting the stage, as will a
selection of queer folk from the early ‘80s, which could unsettle
more conservative Americans. Since this is the town that spawned
Studio 54 (and its legendary appetite for sexual excess), it’s
more likely that it will be embraced as a welcome return to the good
old days"
