TABOO returns to London for one night only to celebrate 20th anniversary

Boy George’s award-winning musical Taboo will return to the London Palladium for one night only on 30 January 2022 to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary.

The star-studded charity concert will feature members of the original cast, and will raise money for the Terrence Higgins Trust and Shelter.

Taboo is a love story played out against the fantastic background of the nightclub that came to symbolise the excess and decadence of 1980s London, and subsequently defined a generation. These were the leaders of a phenomenon which left a lasting influence on both the face and fate of pop, fashion and social culture.

The original West End production of Taboo helped launch the careers of performers including Luke Evans, Matt Lucas, Diane Pilkington, Declan Bennett, Euan Morton, Lyn Paul, Stephen Ashfield & John Partridge. Julian Clary and Boy George himself made their West End debuts in the show playing the fabulous Leigh Bowery, and Paul Baker won a much-deserved Olivier Award for his portrayal of Philip Salon.

Taboo has music and lyrics by Boy George and Kevan Frost, with a book by Mark Davies Markham and direction by the original West End and Broadway Director Christopher Renshaw.
