The long-running off-Broadway musical Naked Boys Singing is to hit the big screen, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is set to be completed this week in Los Angeles as is a behind-the-scenes documentary which will be released on DVD.

Naked Boys Singing made national news last year when performances of the musical at the Milwaukee Gay Arts Center were shut down by the city of Milwaukee. The musical re-opened at the Center two months later when the city admitted closing the show down was a mistake. The Milwaukee Gay Arts Center filed a claim against the city, asserting its action was a civil rights violation, but the lawsuit was dismissed earlier this month.
