Apropos Southern Comfort, a musical at the Public that was originally a documentary. I can think of Hands on a Hardbody. But what other plays or musicals were based on documentary films?

Grey Gardens would be a big one.

^ That's what came to my mind, too!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Southern Comfort and Strictly Ballroom spring to mind.

I don't think Strictly Ballroom was based on a documentary. The musical was based on the 1992 comedy-drama film, which itself sprang from an earlier play (by Baz Luhrmann).
