WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Taboo is a musical portrait of a brief but remarkable era -- London in the early 1980s. An ever-shifting time that sparked a rebellion among the youth that found its expression in flamboyant fashion and decadent nightlife. These kids were "the New Romantics" -- leaders of an unofficial movement that left a lasting influence on music and fashion. The musical focuses on two young men -- Leigh Bowery, a brilliant, anarchic performance artist/designer and George O'Dowd, a young, rough-edged boy who arrives in London and -- once swept up into the exciting artistic climate -- becomes the surprising crossover star of the scene as Boy George.
Produced by Rosie O'Donnell and Adam Kentwright, the show features a new book by Charles Busch, adapted from Mark Davies' original book from the London production. Christopher Renshaw directs, with choreography by Mark Dendy.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ira Gammerman made quick work of the Rosie O'Donnell case when he decided that the savvy loudmouth's dispute with the Gruner + Jahr USA crowd concerning the magazine Rosie came down to "bragging rights." But it might take the judge a bit longer to rule on the merits of O'Donnell's other bragging-rights enterprise, the much-publicized Taboo. The show didn't make many fans during its London run but has been overhauled for presentation here. It's not so easy to reach a verdict -- is it, Judge Gammerman? -- when so many things are right and so many wrong with a production into which O'Donnell has sunk $10 million and about which she's repeatedly waxed enthusiastic[...]
