Cry Baby Set to Close on Broadway

The hit musical Cry-Baby, which entered into the American conscience as first a movie starring Johnny Depp, is set to close on Broadway on June 22.  The musical will have played 45 previews and 68 regular performances before the curtains close on this remarkable show.  Of course fans should not despair: a national tour is expected to begin in the fall of 2009.  Full of color and amazing singing and dancing, this show has become a hit with fans and it scored four 2008 Tony nominations including one for Best Musical.

According to press notes posted on Playbill.com, Cry-Baby is “set in 1950’s Baltimore and is based on Waters’ 1990 film of the same.  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!”  Get your pair of Cry Baby tickets today!
