Boy George Drops Out of Jesus Christ Superstar | Venice Beach News
Description
Boy George was pulled from his role as King Herod in the West End revival of “Jesus Christ Superstar” just days before opening, after releasing a fiery reggae track that criticized genocide, war, and musicians blindly following internet narratives. His manager, Paul Kemsley, cited respect for the production and all involved as the reason for the exit, despite acknowledging George’s convictions — and even warning him to “pipe down,” which he refused to do. The producers remain silent, but the fallout from the song clearly reshaped the show’s lineup.
