20th anniversary musical taboo concert at the London Palladium
Boy George’s award-winning musical Taboo returns to London for just one night at the London Palladium to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show’s original production.
In 1985, the brilliant designer and performance artist Leigh Bowery opened the legendary London nightclub Taboo. Frequented by Boy George and other legends of the new romantic scene, Taboo quickly became the hottest club in town.
Taboo is a love story set against the backdrop of the fantastic nightclub that symbolizes the excess and decadence of 1980s London, and subsequently defines a generation. These were the leaders of a phenomenon that left a lasting influence on the face and fate of pop, fashion and social culture.
The original West End production of Taboo helped launch the careers of many now illustrious performers, including Luke Evans, Matt Lucas, Diane Pilkington, Declan Bennett, Euan Morton, Lyn Paul, Stephen Ashfield and John Partridge. Julian Clary and Boy George himself all made their West End debuts in the show playing the fabulous Leigh Bowery, and Paul Baker won a well-deserved Olivier Award for his portrayal of Philip Salon.
With music and lyrics by Boy George and Kevan Frost, book by Mark Davies Markham, and directing by original West End and Broadway director Christopher Renshaw, don’t miss your chance to see this incredible concert of the musical La most outrageous, vibrant and contagious in the world and book your tickets today!
