John Waters' Cry Baby Hits Broadway

[froggyola]

Too interesting for generic broadway. No stars from American Idol, or a toothy Osmond look alike. It didn't make it.

[Fiyero823]

I agree.

I KNOW! JEEZ! -looks behind him-

[laneuhsayWHA]

i saw this musical 3 times in new york and it was amazing. i would recommend it to everyone! i just have one question....when is the soundtrack coming out!?

[TheTest4ever]

@laneuhsayWHA i do not think they will ever come out with a soundtrack i wish they would because i love james snyder and his voice is so hot. i hope they also go on tour with crybaby the musical

[yanndick]

Who could have believe Waters would inspire Broadway musicals, back in his "Pink Flamingo" time ?

HAIRSPRAY and CRY-BABY were fun movies. Hope I could see the shows someday.

[abbie8908]

i think Alli is the best thing about this show.

[TheTest4ever]

@abbie8908 no way i hayed her

[SAchik376]

i though that cry-baby was pretty good. i didn't really think it was worthy of a tony nomination for best musical, but i enjoyed seeing it. i really hope in the heights wins.

[AmyEnchanted86]

I saw the show for the third time yesterday after they announced that Cry-Baby was up for 4 Tony nominations including best musical. Way to go Cry-Baby!!! The show's great. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. ;)

[tromakevin]

Nothing less than amazing.

[ShadyBunzz]

it's really upsetting that they didn't use any songs from the movie...it's almost like a completely different play (except the characters have the same name). Nothing can beat the movie! I love "Please Mr. Jailer"...and Johnny Depp haha

[eava123]

omg its so hard to think that james who will be playing cry baby and can sing so wonderfly, was the creepy malcom in Shes the Man.

[livingforloving]

mmmmmmmm....... james snyder:D

[footballgal]

Just saw it on broadway and loved it. It was awesome. Like a mix of grease and west side story but way funnier. Loved lenora she was awesome

[alexdelarge95]

i just saw it on Broadway It WAS AWESOME i loved loved loved it

[HortonHasHeard]

i agree! just saw it yesterday! awesome.

[byro97yt]

Just saw it in previews...

Lyricist D.Javerbaum's too-clever-by-half rhymes are a bit exhausting (he has one well-used thesaurus), and the lyrics don't respect the characters enough (Crybaby's intro "Nobody Gets Me"). J.Snyder needs to be a little more edgy/dangerous as Crybaby, gets no help from the lyrics. Hack story line (even for a franchise vehicle like this), and perfunctory ending. But great tunes/dancing, H.Harris makes it feel like Bway, and Alli Mauzey is GREAT as the insane admirer.

[producersfan]

They changed Crybaby's intro??? In San Diego it was called "One Tear."

[eava123]

what was it, like what do you mean in previews?

[TheTest4ever]

@byro97yt i totaly agree with you on that point

[aronoel619]

Saw the show twice in San Diego. Wish I could've seen it a few more times. Such a fun show with amazing music, choreography, and humor. Do not miss this show. Catch it before it's a film.

[VrequiemV]

It's already a film with Johnny Depp, directed by John Waters. Came out YEARS ago =)

[aronoel619]

Ha ha. Of course. Catch it before it's the film version of the stage musical based on the movie musical. Did I leave anything out? Oh yeah...and buy a t-shirt too. ;)

[LittleFrankNFurter]

[gasp] They changed Cry Baby's last name to Williams?! Why?

[producersfan]

I saw it in San Diego, and I'm pretty sure it's still Walker.

[LittleFrankNFurter]

Okay.  Cool. Thanks XD

[eava123]

ik wtf? its sopost to be walker. Allisons last name is williams too!

[LittleFrankNFurter]

I know, I was thinking incest XD

I think it may have been a mistake by the people who taped the footage.

[eava123]

ik, i hope so, other wise its stupid. do you know what is is on broadway. what does preview mean?

[LittleFrankNFurter]

idk, but i know the tickets are about half-price than the they would be if it wasn't previews.

[eava123]

but wat it the real show?

[eava123]

but wat it the real show?

[LittleFrankNFurter]

i believe it's the real show. i've never been to see a broadway play, so I wouldn't know.

[eava123]

but did they act so was it like a play?

[LittleFrankNFurter]

Yes, they DO act out the play and sing the songs, but I don't know if it's the whole show.

[eava123]

oh well i will be seeing it the day it comes out

[hellokittycutie2003]

I know when I saw Wade"Cry Baby"Williams, I was like what the hell. It's suppose to be Walker, Wade Walker has a ring. And Allison's last name is Williams.

[HortonHasHeard]

i think they just messed up in the video haha. its still Walker. saw it yesterday.

[TheTest4ever]

@LittleFrankNFurter no in other clips you will hear themm call him Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker

[erin82889]

it was a cute show. saw a preview last night. =)

[cc004]

OMG.. I seen the preview on Broadway March 20th!! And... it was AMAZING!!!!! I went in not knowing a whole lot about the musical. I love the movie, so I just figured it would similar to that. I knew it would different, just like Hairspray! But, it was so much more amazing than I expected!! They were incredible!! So much talent in that one show! Definitely going to be a huge success!!

[jaybeebaybees]

i saw the first preview on march 15. it was amazinggggg. i loved it. it was way better than i expected. fantastic. everyone should see it. <3

[CoSAscuff]

I saw the show twice in San Diego and it was hilarious!!!!!! This cast is TOP NOTCH!!!! And they are all so nice!

[tougemiata]

From what I've heard, the songs are original and the show is awesome. I know James, and from what I've seen in the past, it will be badass!

[eava123]

can someone please tell me i couldnt hear what he said before "So girl, can i kiss you with toung." can someone please tell me.

[ryan42283]

anyone know how i can like see anything else about this

drapes kick ass!

[thedarkcrusader]

saw the show at the invited dress rehearsal on friday and loved it!!! A MUST SEE!!!! It was great!!

[roclith]

Hey, thedarksrusader; had a question about the show. Forgive me if I'm outta touch, and getting the movie to rent this week; I've only seen clips of the movie Cry Baby here on YouTube. My question is, is there music from the movie in the Broadway show? Like the opening song in the movie "Cry Baby", and "Sha-Boom, Sha-Boom"? Just curious. Thanks!

ROCLITH

[thedarkcrusader]

Hey roclith. It's cool.. I actually haven't seen the movie either so I'm a bit out of touch as well. I feel bad because a lot of people have asked me that as well and I still have yet to see the movie. Sorry I couldn't be of any help but if I find out, I'll post!

[CoSAscuff]

There are no songs from the movie in the musical. Its all original music as well as some plot changes, but nothing drastic. It's alot like the slight changes between the original movie of hairspray and the broadway musical.

[hellokittycutie2003]

Somehow that's incredibly upsetting. I still would love to see it, but I just love the music in that movie so much. I grew up on Cry Baby, one of the movies as a little kid that helped me really like Johnny Depp. My favorite song is Please, Mr. Jailer.

[eava123]

OMG ik wat you sar saying. i love johnny depp my fav song is my teardrops are falling.

[eava123]

OMG ik whats ur saying. i love cry baby and im in love with johnny depp.

[TheTest4ever]

@roclith no there is not it is all different music and songs

[jamesie999]

Oh i love this site! I wish though you could upload more often! Thanks!

[TomSELECTT]

looks really cool!! i loved the movie and this looks like it'l be great also.
