CRY-BABY will begin previews at the Marquis Theater March 15, in advance of an April 24 opening.

To promote ticket sales and build an audience, all preview tickets will cost $54 - the year the show is set.

(IMO - They should be $19.54 for the first preview. Do it the All Shook Up way).

It's Cry-Baby's fault that Me and My Girl isn't still running! And Oba Oba too!

I always thought it was my fault that Drowsy wasn't running.

Or at least that is what TKT2RIDE told me...

I am so excited! My mom will probably start crying when we go to the Marquis and Drowsy isn't there!

Wasn't Megan Hilty supposed to be in this? If I'm right about that, then what happened to her?

She is doing Wicked in LA. She is going to be in 9 to 5 next season. She has never been attached to this show.

I'm excited for this too! It starts previews on my last day in town, so maybe I'll have to see it. The last show I saw on its first preview was The Wedding Singer - so hopefully this will be better...

Rear mezz seats during previews are $34, by the way.

Posted: 1/14/08 at 9:00am

oh.. thanks....but I'll wait for TDF.. $34.000 will be $43.00 with fees...

Yes I guess you'd have to be a REAL Theater lover to shell out $43.


I must admit, this wasn't on my radar at all- but looking at the talent involved- am I wrong to be wildly optimistic?

Does anyone think there will be student tickets/rush/lotto?

Joe, you are not interested in South Pacific and A Catered Affair, too ?

I would be surprised if they didn't since they are targeting students.
