Cry-Baby
Latymer Theatre Company • Student/Youth company
About the show
Cry-Baby is a musical production by Latymer Theatre Company at the Forest Theatre, based on John Waters' classic. In a world where appearance is everything — virginity is good, communism is bad — squeaky-clean Alison falls for Wade 'Cry Baby' Walker, who is not the good influence her grandmother was hoping for. After previous productions of cult musicals including Zanna Don't, Flight of the Lawnchair Man and Zombie Prom, Latymer Theatre Company returns to the Fringe with this bad taste musical. Running 90 minutes, age guidance 12+, tickets £15.
Why see this show?
Latymer Theatre Company brings a musical adaptation of John Waters' bad-taste classic to the Forest Theatre — a gleefully irreverent show from a youth company with a track record of cult Fringe musicals. Good fun for ages 12 and above.
