One Tear is gone from San Diego. Let's Disappear is now Let's Get Some Air wich is apparently terrible. It has a gas mask dance? In San Diego it was a magic show with Ms. VW getting cut in half.

ACA and CB are apples and oranges. It is like comparing Hairspray to Grey Gardens.

I can't wait WBaF & Yankeefan's thoughts on the show...

Well.. I am not really crazy about the 22 tracks demo too... there were 2 descent songs...but MOST of it.. are PRETTY BAD-iMO.. I just did like it...I thought it was a water-down HAIRSPRAY...

Oh It Looks like this show is going to be a MESS!

I loved A CATERED AFFAIR in San Diego.
I predict it will do much better than the mess that is CRYBABY.
I have been wrong before, but I really cared for the characters in AFFAIR, and just the opposite with BABY.

For those who saw In my Life and have seen Cry-Baby, which was worse?

Just a reminder that they're in PREVIEWS, early previews. A lot can change in a month.

early previews after an out of town try out. if you still have extensive changes to make after your out of town, you're in trouble.

again; i want them to be a success.

Just saw this Cry Baby. I was amazed at how bad it was. From the lyrics to the cast. The lead girl was weak. There where a few funny moments and some good dancing. Not enought to save this sinking ship. To tired to get into it.

I saw Catered Affair and Cry Baby in San Diego. I thoguht A Catered Affair had a terrible book and a boring score which could not be saved by wonderful performanes from the entire cast. I thought Cry Baby was fun with a funny book, great score and lyrics, creative choreography and superb sets. Yes, the writing for the two leads needed to be sharpened but over all, I found the show in great shape. Yes, Brantley probably won't like either show- but then again, this is the same Brantley who raved about Bernadette Peters in Gypsy and then complained about Patti's Gypsy in the Encores production.

I was there tonight. I actually thought it was fun and cute. Not life changing by any means...but a fun night out? I think so It's kind of Grease meets Hairspray meets All Shook Up. Also, did anyone notice the cute guy who was selling merchandise tonight? He alone was worth it

I think Cry Baby has the potential of being a big hit. It is hip without being avant-garde.

I'll be there Wednesday.

I'm predicting I'll love it. But for all the wrong reasons.

Well shoot. I was hoping this show would be good. My sister and I are going to be in town next week and she wanted to see The Little Mermaid but I vetoed it because I didn't want to pay a ton of money to see a crappy show. So instead we planned to see Cry-Baby (even though she hated the movie) cause the out-of-town reviews seemed favorable. Now I just don't know what we should see. Should we try to get SRO for The Little Mermaid (cause I'm not willing to pay more for it) or get the $35 rear mezzanine Cry-Baby seats or see something else entirely?


Sorry if this is thread-jacking.






It was very good don't listen to everyone else. Go see my reveiw (Cry Baby: First Preveiw)

Go see "XANADU"

i got a ticket for next Saturday night. i wanted to see it in previews in case the audience ran it out of town before giving it a chance. i like reading everyone's thoughts but i am going to be mad if the audience is as rude as Norn says it is. thats a lot of why i never gave any of the Disney shows a chance.

oddly enough, someone was eating sushi in Passing Strange and i still loved it. maybe it depends on the material itself and whether it can stand rude tourists?

i plan on making my OWN assessment of "Cry Baby" sans Ben Brantley (i.e. why i go in previews)

[musicalmaster703]

Posted: 3/16/08 at 10:20am

WTF the audiance was not rude! They were very very supportive. Did you go to the same show i did?

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 3/16/08 at 10:21am

I am really shocked at the reactions that this show is getting...thought it would get MUCH more positive feedback.

Oh well, I'm going in early April and will be sure to post a review.

We see it in April

Maybe we will be seeing something else instead.
