Boy George will join the cast of ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ on Broadway in 2024.
The Culture Club star announced his latest project during an appearance on America’s ‘TODAY’ show on Monday (November 6) while discussing his new memoir, ‘Karma’.
On joining the Tony Award-winning cast, he shared: “Just being part of an ensemble is really fun. You can’t have an ego, because there’s too many people. It’s about fitting in, especially because everyone’s been doing this show for a while. So, hopefully, they’re going to teach me.”
It’s a long-awaited return to the acting stage for the pop legend; after debuting his original musical, ‘Taboo’, on the West End in 2002, he took it to Broadway the following year.
During his appearance on the show, George – who recently wrapped a North American summer tour with Culture Club – also spoke about the band’s iconic hit, Karma Chameleon, which inspired the title to his new tome.
“The funny thing, when you first get famous, even though you have no experience, you become an expert on what’s going to be a hit,” he said. “And I was like, ‘This will be a hit’. And I was actually right.”
“It’s like an earworm, that song,” the vocalist added.
