London
Cry Baby The Musical
It?s 1954. Everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism and Wade ?Cry-Baby? Walker is the coolest boy in Baltimore. He?s a bad boy with a good cause ? truth, justice and the pursuit of rock and roll.
Enter Allison, a strait-laced rich girl who trades her ?Square? boyfriend, Baldwin, for the irresistible allure of Cry-Baby and his misfit crew, the Drapes. As rivalries intensify and hearts break, the city is turned upside-down in a rollicking tale of forbidden love and teen rebellion.
With infectious rockabilly hits like ?The Anti-Polio Picnic? and ?Girl, Can I Kiss You with Tongue,? Cry-Baby is a politically charged, laugh-out-loud cult classic. Described as ?Romeo and Juliet? meets High School Hellcats?, this subversive musical directed by Mehmet Ergen, Artistic Director of Arcola Theatre, promises a toe-tapping, boundary-breaking good time.
Get ready for a wild ride?Cry-Baby is here to steal your heart!
