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. Cry-Baby and the square rich girl, Allison, are star-crossed lovers at the center of this world. Fueled by hormones and the new rhythms of rock and roll, she turns her back on her squeaky-clean boyfriend, Baldwin, to become a "drape" (a Baltimore juvenile delinquent) and Cry-Baby's moll. At the other end of the topsy-turvy moral meritocracy of 1954 America, Baldwin is the king of the squares and leads his close-harmony pals against the juvenile delinquents, who are ultimately arrested for arson, sending the drapes all off to prison. It's Romeo and Juliet meets High School Hellcats.
Cry-Baby: The Musical features a power-house cast: Chris Arneson as Cry-Baby, Holly Dalton as Allison, Kelly Bidstrup-Graham as Mrs. Vernon-Williams, Terra Salazar as Pepper, Preston Adams as Dupree, Beck Smith as Hatchet-Face, Anna Sturtz as Wanda, Robin Zavala as Lenora and Alex Fox as Baldwin. Plus Mike Martinkus, Jospeh Lozano and Justin Milner as the Wiffles and Sarah Rose Hackshaw, Linda Swanson Brown, Michaela Lamb, Willa Bograd, Solveig Swanson, Sophia Johnson-Grimes, Jordan Manchego, Michael Rossitto and Brad Wagner as ensemble.
