The post Boy George Cast in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway appeared first on Consequence.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical has found its next Harold Zidler in Boy George, who’ll be making his long-awaited Broadway return from February 6th through May 12th, 2024.

Currently played by Tituss Burgess through next month, the character of Harold Zidler is the owner of the Moulin Rouge night club, also serving as the musical’s de facto emcee. Coincidentally, Boy George’s last time on Broadway — which was over 20 years ago — was Taboo, another musical about a night club.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is directed by Alex Timbers with a book by John Logan, and is based on Baz Luhrmann’s eponymous 2001 film. It features a wide array of pop hits like “Single Ladies,” “Every Breath You Take,” and, of course, “Lady Marmalade,” which is all well-charted territory for Boy George, who rose to fame as the lead singer of the band Culture Club.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is going down at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, and you can get tickets here.

Earlier this year, Boy George — who also recently exposed his unexpected love for the band Napalm Death — wrapped up a tour with Culture Club. Their last album was 2018’s Life, their first studio LP in nearly 20 years.
