The Scissor Sisters are to write the songs for a stage musical version of Armistead Maupin's chronicle of life in 1970s San Francisco, Tales of the City.Frontman Jake Shears and touring band member John Garden - son of Goodie Graeme Garden - will write the tunes, with the show set to open in 2009.
It is being produced on Broadway by the team behind the award-winning puppetry musical Avenue Q.
Tales of the City was voted Britain's favourite gay novel in a 2006 poll.
The story focuses on Mary Ann Singleton, a prudish young woman from the Midwest who moves to San Francisco and meets an unusual collection of colourful characters while living at 28 Barbary Lane.
