<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Police shut down
a bar that was showing a successful musical revue featuring nudity because the
business didn't have an adult entertainment license.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The manager of The Armory bar in midtown
Atlanta, Doug Youngblood, said police overreacted Saturday night. He said the
show had been running since August and is theater -- not adult
entertainment.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The revue, "Naked Boys Singing," has
spent six years off-Broadway in New York and road show versions are playing in
several cities. The gay-themed show, billed as celebrating "the splendors of
male nudity in comedy, song and dance," features six male actors who are in the
buff for much of the performance.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Three plainclothes police officers went
to The Armory on Saturday, watched part of the 8 p.m. show, then shut the place
down and issued a citation to Youngblood.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>"You have to investigate, and if what
you're seeing may be considered adult entertainment, I suppose they feel it
needs to be shut down," said police spokesman John Quigley.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Youngblood said he was later allowed to
reopen the bar but the 10 p.m. performance was canceled.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The show received generally good reviews
in New York City, where it ranks as the 10th longest-running off-Broadway show.
In August, the city's tourist bureau pulled it from a list of discounted
offerings for visiting Republican delegates after the Republican National
Committee complained it wasn't
suitable.</FONT></P></H1></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
