Cry Baby

Presented by Playhouse Stage Company

At Cohoes Music Hall

Good girls want him. Bad girls want to be him. And Baltimore's about to blow its square little lid. In this razor-sharp, rockabilly musical satire, Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker leads a gang of tattooed outcasts, orphan punks, and delinquent weirdos in a war against clean-cut 1950's conformity. The crime? Loving too loud. Dancing too dirty. And standing up to the man. From the twisted minds of John Waters and the creators of Hairspray , CRY-BABY: THE MUSICAL is a trashy, tuneful takedown of 1950s repression—with rockabilly guitars, chain-link fences, and girls with switchblades. Don't bring your parents. Or do. Whatever makes 'em squirm.
