NEW YORK (AP) — Boy George — the Culture Club icon of the 1980s — is returning to Broadway in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.”The singer-songwriter whose hits include “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” will play Moulin Rouge club owner Harold Zidler in the jukebox adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s hyperactive 2001 movie. He starts Feb. 6 and ends May 12 at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre, taking over the role from Tituss Burgess. Boy George was last represented on Broadway in 2003 with “Taboo,” for which he wrote music and lyrics. He also performed in that show, but did not play himself.
