Cry Baby – The Musical
The celebrated University of Chichester TRIPLE THREAT COMPANY are back in Worthing with two of their hottest shows ever!
The second is CRY BABY! The second retro-themed John Waters film classic turned musical (hot on the heels of Hairspray!) 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. The Wall Street Journal wrote of its 2007 California premiere, ‘campy, fabulously well-crafted and madly, outrageously funny.’ while Newsday agreed, ‘deep in the sweet darkness of its loopy heart it’s more true to the cheerful subversion of a John Waters movie than its sentimental big sister Hairspray. With Roackabilly-inspired numbers expect more of the Triple Threat Company’s legendary music, dance and design production values under a stellar professional creative team and live band. You will be watching the next generation of exceptional West End professionals too, with previous cast members currently in Les Miserables and Sunset Boulevard and two former cast members who featured in the West End’s 2021 production of Hairspray itself.
An amateur production presented by arrangement with Musical Theatre International
