Around this production

Cry-Baby is a musical based on the 1990 John Waters film of the same name. The music is by Adam Schlesinger, lyrics by David Javerbaum and the book is by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, who had previously done the book for the musical Hairspray, also based on a John Waters film of the same name. The musical focuses on Baltimore teenager Allison Vernon-Williams, who is drawn across the tracks from her 1954 finishing-school background into a relationship with the orphaned Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, the leader of a pack of rebel outcasts.
