Mason Alexander Park (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Mimi Imfurst (RuPaul’s Drag Race) have teamed up to present Taboo 15, a concert of music from Boy George‘s cult musical, Taboo, in honor of its 15th anniversary. The tribute will be performed for one-night-only on Saturday, March 31 at 7 PM at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (at the West Bank Cafe).
In addition to Park and Imfurst, Taboo 15 will also feature Kaley Vorhees (currently appearing on Broadway as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera), Shannon Conley (Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway), Caroline Lellouche (Diane Paulus’ Donkey Show at ART) and Bobby Goodrich (Divine/Intervention) with some surprise guests. The performers will be accompanied by band members from the Broadway and National Tour of Hedwig and The Angry Inch.
Taboo was originally produced on Broadway at The Plymouth Theatre in 2003 by Rosie O’Donnell. Boy George was Tony-nominated for his score of the musical, which featured a book by Tony Award nominee Charles Busch. The plot concerns the lives of two larger-than-life personalities involved in the eighties London club scene: singer Boy George, who rose to international fame via the pop group Culture Club, and performance artist Leigh Bowery, who became known for his outlandish costumes and make-up before an early death from AIDS.
Taboo 15, Saturday, March 31 at 7 PM. Tickets are $22 (plus a $20 food/drink minimum). A $35 VIP
tickets that includes reserved seating and a photo op are also available.
