Producer Rosie O'Donnell announced Jan. 13 that the new musical would close Feb. 8. In a statement the former talk-show host said, "Taboo was by far the most fulfilling experience of my career. Many lessons were learned, and so it goes. For this experience I am profoundly grateful and have no regrets."

With a new book by Charles Busch, Taboo concerns the lives of two larger-than-life personalities involved in the eighties London club scene: the Kent-born singer Boy George, who rose to fame and international acclaim 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. Their stories are told against the background of the London club Taboo, which featured an array of self-proclaimed "freaks."

Taboo began previews at the Plymouth Theatre Oct. 24 and officially opened Nov. 13. For more information about the musical, visit www.tabooonbroadway.com.
