Has anyone out there seen Taboo? The play that was 100% funded by Rosie O’Donnell starring Boy George. Enough time has passed to explore this war crime. I want to do a doc on this perfect train wreck. If you are out there and you want to recount your experience on camera, like a P.O.W. (prisoner of wreckage) please email me: pinky at streetcarnage dot com I am serious.
Here is some gold on taboo:
“Taboo,” the critically battered Boy George musical produced on Broadway by Rosie O’Donnell, will bring down its curtain for good on Feb. 8, losing all of its well-known producer’s $10 million investment, according to published reports.
When the show opened — to extremely negative reviews — on Nov. 13, O’Donnell, 41, told reporters, “If people really want to see what I’m all about, they should go see this show.”
… apparently, nobody really cared to see what she was all about.

I like how what’s-his-face is admonishing her about funding the awful play. He probably had to sit through it.

My favorite part was when Lipton said “Alot..”, and raise his eyebrows. That was the most real I’ve ever seen him.
