Posted: 10/8/06 at 7:19pmHas anyone heard any information about the premiere of Cry-Baby at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle? It opens in February, so it's still a little ways away, but maybe someone on here has heard rumors about the cast or the show in general. I'm pretty excited about it.

Posted: 10/9/06 at 11:12pmThe show has actually been pushed back, I'm not sure to when. The cast announced a few months ago included Christopher Hanke and Joe Madragona and as far as I know that cast is still intact

It opens February 13th. And yes, Megan Lawrence is a part of the production. Here is the website of 5th Ave. It doesn't have too much information, but there are links to any articles that have been written about the show thus far.

P.S. Curtain, it is indeed a musical of the movie.

Posted: 10/10/06 at 12:17amI think Caissie Levy (Hairspray-Penny) was or is involved. I don't know in what capacity though.

Posted: 10/10/06 at 1:09pmExciting! I remember John Waters saying in a Cry-Baby interview that it was in the process of becoming a musical.

I think it has been cancelled for Seattle but here is a link about the reading that took place this past summer - with pictures from it too.
