With a book by Charles Busch adapted from the original by Mark Davies, lyrics by Boy George and music by George and Kevan Frost, this muscial set in an abandoned London warehouse that was once the hottest dance club in London seemed like one of those pop culture vehicles that couldn't lose. The show is based on the unique  life and career of Boy George and performance artist Leigh Bowery.

Rosie O'Donnell's Broadway production of "Taboo," which starred Boy George and  Euan Morton in their Broadway debuts, Raúl Esparza,  Liz McCartney and Jeffrey Carlson, garnered four Tony Award nominations.   Sadly, the musical closed after 100 performances.
