Broadway dives back into Waters
Variety: "It's not always easy being the second child. As of spring, John Waters will be the proud papa of two Broadway tuners, with 'Cry-Baby,' a musical adaptation of his pic, set to join 'Hairspray' as inspired by the cult director's work. Given its pedigree, 'Cry-Baby' finds itself negotiating a tricky balance: The $12 million production not only hopes to catch the wave of success of 'Hairspray' -- but also to make its own mark ."

I like the idea of the musical. I haven't seen the movie, but if it is a John Walters Romeo and Juliet i would not be surprised to see it with some off color jokes but still entertaining. I hope that it can establish itself as not another Hairspray, but something different.
Also, the team working on it seems to be one that is apt for the project and not a team that was more arbitrarily put together.
I really enjoyed the movie. i felt that it's much more radical than Hairspray, but certainly not John Walters most radical film(Cecil B. Demented). I have a friend in the out of town cast who says it's a great production and he wouldn't be surprised if it goes on to be as if not more succesful than Hairspray.
