From 'Taboo'
Who? Boy George (plus Kevan Frost, John Themis, Richie Stevens.)
When? Telling the story of the troubled pop star himself, ‘Taboo’ opened in the West End in 2002 and, despite terrible reviews, transferred to Broadway in 2003.
Why? It’s not a great song, but it’s got some nice, sarcastic lyrics courtesy of Boy George and it channels something of Lionel Bart’s great tunes from ‘Oliver’.
Sing-a-long rating 3/10
