'Cry-Baby' Announces Closing
The Broadway musical “Cry-Baby,” based on John Waters’ 1990 film starring Johnny Depp, will throw in the towel on Sunday, shuttering after 68 performances. Months earlier, it was thought that “Cry-Baby” might follow in the footsteps of “Hairspray,” another musical adapted from a Waters film, and become big hit. The musical received four Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Musical, but received none.
