my thoughts on Cry-Baby (March 17, 2008)

Hands down, the worst thing I've ever seen on Broadway. This just should NOT have been made into a musical. I realize it was only the 2nd preview, but still...daaaaaaaamn!! From the moment they first appeared on stage, James Snyder & Elizabeth Stanley seemed nervous beyond belief. James kinda got better, but Elizabeth was consistently nervous the whole night, her singing wasn't anything special. And poor Harriet Harris...she started her last song in the wrong key, then messed up some words, and the last note was not good.

My favorite part was Spencer Liff. He was yummy to look at. The dancing was great, the best part of the show, but otherwise I hated it.

I suck at writing these things...ask questions, I'll answer them!



Oooh, and Carly Jibson was out AGAIN!

Two more strikes for me... meaning if Yankeefan & Wanna Be A Foster pan it this week..I WILL NOT SEE IT! Too many posters here (not the newbies who just signed in to shill the show) panning the show- that's a recipe for DISASTER!

I have to commute 8 hours just to see a show and it may not be worth it for me... It will REALLY save me time & money..

Ryan- Thanks for an awesome review!

oh hmmm maybe it is not your style of music.

musicalmaster...I had heard the demo CD before seeing the show, and actually liked the songs, and thought I would love the show.

That was not the case.

or maybe it is just a bad musical?


though I am glad you like it, mm703..at least some people like it! its just it may not be worth it for me to commute 8 hours and just get a headache. I was told by a lot of my friends here whove seen the show (thru pms) that it was a TORTURE! and I am really worried about it...its not the $$.. its the time..

jay, it depends if you like 50s music, go. If not don't go!

---

Its really got nothing to do with if you like 50s music

Not all 50s music was great, and the score for this is weak

---

I like 50's music...

though I hated the demo...I thought most of the songs are just awful, though most of my friends who saw the show love the demo and hated the show...mind boggling! they told me the show was just BAD!

well i hated the demo and loved the show! They cut out alot of the demo (thank god!) and have much better singers

---

Let me reiterate though....the male ensemble (with a few exceptions) is HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!

If its all about the male ensemble... I'll just save my $54.00 dollars and spend it at seanXdotcom and most likely I'll have a better time! and save time too...

(I am just trying to be funny, okay?)
