ATLANTA, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin has allowed the musical revue "Naked Boys Singing!" to continue at the Armory club, overruling police who had closed the show.

Police had cited the Armory for offering adult entertainment without a license, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

But the mayor asked police to drop the case because, "The investigation has revealed the citation issued was based upon the misreading of a section of the Atlanta City Code."

Atlanta attorney Robert Darroch, who is co-producing "Naked", said he was ecstatic about Franklin's decision.

"We had every confidence that if the mayor took a look at it, 1/8she3/8 would realize it was a mistake", he said. "We have reserved a front-row seat for the mayor for Thursday night's show . . . and any staff who would like to be there."

Garroch said the show does not meet Atlanta's definition of adult entertainment since it does not include nude or semi-nude performers engaging in sex or simulated sex.

After "Naked Boys Singing!" opened at the Armory in August, a reviewer for the Journal-Constitution placed it on a list of recommended productions and described it as "A little song, a little dance, a cast of six not wearing pants."
