'Taboo' in Brixton

Someone's brave out there. A new venue in Brixton in south west London is going to stage 'Taboo', Boy George's musical about his experiences in the '80s. The Brixton Club House is making it's first foray into theatre by putting on 'Taboo' and you've got to give them credit for that.

I saw it a couple of times at The Venue off Leicester Square on its run over 2002-03 and enjoyed it (even though I cringed into a small, un-noticeable ball for the audience participation bits). Boy George was closely involved in the production and played Leigh Bowery in it. It'll be interesting to see how it's staged without George and with new actors. There are some very lovely songs in the show and it'll be nice to hear them sung again.

This new production is reported to run from 7 September to 23 December 2012 and I will definitely go to see it.
