Boy George has withdrawn from the London Palladium production of Jesus Christ Superstar before performing a single night. His manager Paul Kemsley announced the decision on 30 July 2026, describing it as a choice to "step aside." Richard Armitage, already playing the role, will cover Boy George's scheduled dates as King Herod. The run, booked through 9 January 2027, continues.
