What To Know About This Production
Book by Mark O’Donnell & Thomas Meehan | Music & Lyrics by Adam Schlesinger & David Javerbaum | Based on the Universal Pictures film written and directed by John Waters
Rockabilly Musical Comedy | Recommended for ages 13+ due to mild adult themes and humor.
From the creators of Hairspray comes another John Waters-inspired delight—Cry-Baby The Musical! Set in 1954 Baltimore, this outrageous rock ‘n’ roll rebellion takes center stage as bad-boy Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker and prim-and-proper Allison Vernon-Williams fall for each other despite their wildly different worlds. Their love story ignites a battle between the rebellious “Drapes” and the straight-laced “Squares,” flipping the classic teen romance trope on its head.
With an electrifying score by Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and David Javerbaum (The Daily Show), this high-energy musical delivers infectious songs, witty lyrics, and high-octane choreography that bring the spirit of a rockabilly concert to the stage. Packed with satirical humor, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of over-the-top fun, Cry-Baby The Musical celebrates teenage rebellion in the most hilariously campy way.
So, slick back your hair, grab your leather jacket, and get ready for a dance-filled spectacle that’s equal parts outrageous and cool!
