Are we ever likely to see a professional production of this again?
I liked the Brixton production but even that was many years after the controversial Broadway outing (does anyone know the full story of that?!)

I saw the one at The Venue (now Leicester Square Theatre). I would quite like to see it again.

Saw the original production 7 times and the tour by fiery Angel ? In 2004 . And the Brixton production which I enjoyed too wasn't sure about some of the changes though ...
Was such a shame the USA production didn't. Do better I've always thought it would be good idea to take the best of the U.K. And USA production and write a new version
Luke evens and Declan Bennett have gone on to huge things since the original production .
Was gutted there was no dvd of the USA production but are some nice clips on you tube
It's truly a great show with beautiful songs and deserves a full scale production mind you loved the London production s that made it feel you really were walking into a nightclub

Petrified is one of my all time favourite songs. Heart-breaking

Any show that gives Lyn Paul a job is good with me.

Got the DVD. Fell asleep. I found it totally boring. Sorry! Exactly what happened to me too! Couldn't find a single thing about it to keep me interested. And awake. |

Rumor online today that a revival is being planned for next year. I remember liking the show on Broadway 20 years ago and would love to see a full scale production again.

I saw that too and wondered where it had sprung from. There was talk of a revival after Boy George mentioned it at the 20th Anniversary concert last year but then it all went quiet and nothing materialised. |

Both west end and Brixton performances were very immersive, with the cast performing around the venue and using the bar areas, so I wonder if they look for the same type of venue for this run?

Would Soho Place be a good venue? I would like to see it stay in a smaller venue. When it was done on Broadway not only was the show flipped around but the venue felt to be too large. A venue the size of Soho Place and its the round, to me, would be perfect.

Hopefully it will tour or show up North, travelling to London to see a show just gets way too expensive

There is a new production of Taboo with a brand new book, opening in Manchester next apparently. Possibly at Hope Mill?
