Boy George, the ever-iconic frontman of Culture Club and genre-bending pop legend, is back in the spotlight—and not just for his music. He’s returned to the Broadway stage, wrapped a major documentary, launched new music projects, and stirred conversation with his latest public commentary.
🎭 Back on Broadway: “Moulin Rouge! The Musical”
Boy George has resumed his flamboyant and fiery role as Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, stepping back into the spotlight on March 28, 2025, and continuing through May 25. This marks his second run in the hit Broadway production—he originally portrayed Zidler from February 6 to May 12, 2024. While his return was initially scheduled for March 18, Broadway News reports that it was pushed back ten days due to scheduling changes.
The singer promoted his return in a lively appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe last week, where he discussed the show, his connection to the role, and how Broadway has given him a new kind of creative fulfillment. His performance has been praised for its glam-rock energy and cheeky theatricality, perfectly aligning with the musical’s decadent spirit.
🎶 New Music: Closet Classics & Do Not Adjust Your Set
Beyond Broadway, Boy George is also pushing forward with new musical releases. His projects Closet Classics and Do Not Adjust Your Set are out now via SSM and available in stores and on streaming platforms.
These albums reflect George’s eclectic sensibilities—fusing elements of electronic, soul, and new wave, while lyrically exploring personal freedom, identity, and transformation. Longtime fans will find nods to his ’80s roots, while newer listeners will discover an artist still pushing boundaries.
🎬 Culture Club Documentary Wraps Production
In a major development for fans of music history, production has wrapped on “Boy George & Culture Club,” a new documentary from Propagate. This film promises an unfiltered look at the rise, fall, and resurgence of one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s.
Featuring Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and others, the documentary marks the first time the classic lineup has come together to tell their story on-camera—detailing the highs, the heartbreak, and the cultural legacy of Culture Club. A release date has yet to be announced, but anticipation is building fast.
⚡ Controversy: Trans Rights and JK Rowling Clash
Boy George has also found himself at the center of a social media storm after making pointed comments about JK Rowling, suggesting that the Harry Potter author “hates men” and questioning her stance on gender and identity issues. His post on X (formerly Twitter) quickly went viral and sparked fierce debate online.
Rowling, never one to back down, responded publicly, reigniting the ongoing discussion about gender politics and celebrity influence. The clash follows years of heated dialogue around Rowling’s public statements on trans issues, and George’s comments have added fuel to the fire.
✨ A Slimmed-Down Style & Personal Reinvention
Adding to the headlines, Boy George appeared recently at a Broadway opening night showing off a dramatic slimmed-down look, which he attributed to using the weight-loss drug Mounjaro. Dressed in bold prints and his trademark hat, he looked confident and rejuvenated, embracing what he called a new chapter in self-care and creativity.
💬 “I’m still curious, still restless, and still causing trouble,” George recently said. “Why stop now?”
Between his Broadway return, bold new music, ongoing pop culture presence, and unfiltered opinions, Boy George remains one of the most unpredictable and compelling figures in entertainment today.
