This show was so much fun! Laughed through almost the whole thing. They could redo the country club scene and trim act 1 but I was loving this show. I saw it last night and was prepared for the worst becaue of some of the poison filled reviews of the show on this board. Go ahead and call me a shill for liking it, You can tell yourself what you like BUT I call those people who say its the worst show ever a shills for a competing production & trying to ruin a wonderful night in the theatre.
I would recomments this show to anybody! You might love it. I Did. Its pure camp and comedy and succeeds brilliantly at it. I think the score was great. And the lyrics were very clever. I'm Infected was a very funny parod of the 1950's love song. I have had it in my head all night. Rob Ashfords choreography is some of the best work on the stage today. Girl Can I Kiss You WIth Tongue AND I'M A LITTLE UPSET had some of the funniest and most clever staging I have seen in awhile. I agree the leads could use a better character arch, They fall in love a little quickly but this is a parody so I didnt mind to much. The sets and costumes did not look cheap, they looked great. I thought the design painted a real pretty picture that helped accent the comic book natre of the piece. AND lastly there have been some very innovative shows this season. IN THE HEIGHTS & PASSING STRANGE both pushed the envelope and I respect them a lot for that but I had more fun in CRY-BABY than either of those. And this is the first show this season that I would take my out of town family to see. It is something that can be enjoyed by others besides theatre savvy new yorkers. Just had to post becaue I had such a different reaction than so many of the other posts on this website. After reading this i'm sure there will a ton of people who bash me for this post or say I'm shill but they would be wrong. Just someone who loved this show and had a wonderfully fun night at the theatre! Thanks.
