WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The new musical, Cry-Baby, based upon the Universal Pictures film written and directed by John Waters, features songs by David Javerbaum and Adam Schlesinger, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan. Mark Brokaw directs, with choreography by Rob Ashford. John Waters serves as creative consultant. Baltimore, 1954. Everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism, and Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the coolest boy in town. He's a bad boy with a good cause -- truth, justice, and the pursuit of rock 'n roll -- and when he falls for a good girl who wants to be bad, her charm school world of bobby sox and barbershop quartets will never be the same. Wayward youth, juvenile delinquents, sexual repression, cool music, dirty lyrics, bizarre rejects...Finally, the 50's come to life! For real this time!

Review

Cry-Baby

By David Finkle · Apr 24, 2008 · New York City

Rob Ashford's propulsive choreography is the main reason to see this otherwise so-so musical adaptation of John Waters' 1990 film.

SUPER FUN & ENERGETIC SHOW!
Cry Baby is just plain fun. With a silly plot and script, the very talented and good looking cast works wonders. Although the music is just OK, the choreography is incredible with an amazing show stopping scene in Act II. The audience loved the show and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a big, funny, eye-popping musical.

Dont Cry, Baby! Youre no square!
With choreography to die for and witty lyrics, this play is a must see for Waters fans. Even if John Waters is not your favorite, the tap dance scene in the second half alone is worth the price of a ticket. Recommendation: If you like dancing, comedy, and pure fun, go see this musical! I guarantee a great time!
