“Cry Baby” is a musical on Broadway that’s based on a movie by John Waters in 1990 that was released under the same name. The movie starred a young Johnny Depp, along with Iggy Pop and Ricki Lake. The Broadway musical version of this movie is directed by Mark Brokaw and choreographed by Rob Ashford.
Mark Brokaw has directed many hit Broadway shows, including “The Constant Wife,” “Reckless,” and “How I Learned to Drive” for Vineyard Theater Production, which won him a Drama Desk Award. Choreographer Rob Ashford has to his credit a Tony Award for the Broadway hit “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and Tony nominations for “The Wedding Singer” and “Curtains.”
The show is a spoof of 1950s movies. The sets take you back to 1954 Baltimore. Here, Wade “Cry Baby” Walker is one of the bad guys of the town. He falls head over heels with a local girl who hails from a good and respectable family. The story features a book by Thomas Meehan and Mark O’Donnell, plus a score given by David Javerbaum as well as Adam Schlesinger.
Although the story has the same typical bad-boy-falls-for-the-good-girl plot; yet there’s something in the musical that draws audience in large numbers. Perhaps, it’s the star cast and their stunning performance, or maybe the way the entire story unfolds in front of the audience. Whatever may be the case; “Cry Baby” musical tickets are selling fast and in huge numbers.
As you watch “Cry Baby”, you remember “Grease,” the record-breaking musical on Broadway. You cannot forget the rock’n’roll teens, their ill-tempered parents, and the life of two lovers in the 1950s.
Although when you get Cry Baby musical tickets, the show is deprived of the talent of Harvey Fierstein, it does contain the creativity of Broadway’s most trustworthy “weapon” – Thomas Meehan! In 1970s, Meehan had taken a break from writing humor briefs for a New York magazine in order to pen down a book for “Annie.” Later, he went on churning books for “The Producers” and “Hairspray.” He also has to his credit “Young Frankenstein.” And now, with “Cry Baby”, he’s all set to conquer the hearts of hundreds of more theater fans.
So, if you’re interested in reading the rebellious mind of Waters, watch the Broadway version of “Cry Baby.” This musical has everything that a theater fan looks for in a show – a typical plot, a famous writer, a talented director, a creative star cast, and a houseful box office!
It’s wiser to call a number to book your tickets through ticketing services. You can also order online and request for home delivery of tickets.
If you want to know what happens to the bad guy and the good girl then purchase some Cry Baby musical tickets, act fast and book your seats. Time is running out. So hurry!
