WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Baltimore 1954. Everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism and Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the baddest boy in town. He's a rebel with a cause -- truth, justice and the pursuit of rock 'n' roll -- and when he falls for a good girl, this square little suburb starts to rock around the clock. John Waters' cult film gets a theatrical polish in this hilarious new musical!

The show features a book by Mark O'Donnell (Hairspray) and Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers), and lyrics and music by David Javerbaum (The Daily Show with Jon Steward) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne). Mark Brokaw directs.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

When a show starts with a scene set at an "Anti-Polio Picnic and Vaccination Carnival." in a lovely, pastel colored park, you know you are not in Kansas anymore. With Cry-Baby, now getting its pre-Broadway world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse, we are in 1954 Baltimore -- as seen through the twisted, subversive, and warped view of the King of Trash himself, John Waters. As with their previous, equally successful screen-to-stage adaptation of Water's Hairspray, book writers Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan have softened a lot of Waters' film's rough edges, making this delightful new musical more accessible and nearly coherent.

Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker (James Snyder) is a teen rebel orphan[...]
