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: SUPER FUN & ENERGETIC SHOW! by bartallan
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.

Review: Dont Cry, Baby! Youre no square! by Rebecca.Fitzgerald
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!

Review: Saw it in La Jolla by SheraFaith
They did a preview run at the La Jolla Playhouse and this Show is just so much fun - and SMART.
The Book works for it. The Choreography is awesome. And, any musical that can make-fun of itself is already a step ahead.
