Essex High School Theater presents...CRY-BABY
EHS Theater opens our season with the raucous rockabilly musical CRY-BABY, based on the cult-classic John Waters film.
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.
Terry Teachout wrote in the Wall Street Journal, "You want funny? I'll give you funny, or at least tell you where to find it: Cry-Baby, the new John Waters musical, is campy, cynical, totally insincere and fabulously well crafted. And funny. Madly, outrageously funny. It is, in fact, the funniest new musical since Avenue Q. If laughter is the best medicine, then Cry-Baby is the whole damn drugstore."
$5 - 10 at the door or in advance at: EHSCryBaby.brownpapertickets.com
