⭐ CRY-BABY – THE MUSICAL – UK PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR ARCOLA THEATRE – MARCH 2025 ⭐
The Tony-nominated cult classic CRY-BABY – THE MUSICAL will make it’s UK premiere next spring, it has been announced.
From the makers of Hairspray, CRY-BABY – THE MUSICAL will make its all-singing, all-dancing UK premiere at London’s Arcola Theatre in March 2025.
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 – THE MUSICAL 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.
CRY-BABY – THE MUSICAL has a book by Mark O’Donnell & Thomas Meehan, songs by David Javerbaum & Adam Schlesinger. Based on the Universal Pictures film written and directed by John Waters.
CRY-BABY – THE MUSICAL will play the Arcola Theatre, running from 3rd March – 12th April 2025, with tickets on sale now.
