Taboo – the musical written by Boy George that took the London stage by storm is due for release in DVD format on November 3rd - the DVD will feature in addition to a full performance of the London show snippets of backstage gossip and a performance of George himself at Nag Nag Nag
For anyone who saw the London production, this will be a great memory stirrer and reminder of a fantastic show. The original London performance previewed on Monday 14th January 2001, opening later that month to great applause. The show went on to run for 16 months and received 4 Olivier award nominations (collecting 1 – Paul Baker for his portrayal of Phillip Sallon which won him best supporting actor in a musical role) and several What’s on stage award nominations before closing prior to transfer to Broadway where it is due to open next month
The show attracted a loyal following and there are no doubt fans across the globe that did not get a chance to view this in person. So the DVD was conceived in association with More Protein.
Mike Nichols and Nigel Askew spent several months following George’s every move to create this great DVD brought to you now by Aces Wild.
