I've got a 'Screw Loose' for Cry Baby!

So, word on the street was that I was going to HATE Cry Baby and that it was a big ol' mess and I would want to leave at intermission.

Well . . . folks, I think that this si a case of seeing a show in previews and then seeing it once it has settled down and really become a fun and throughly entertaining night at the theatre. I thought the performances were great, I liked the songs, I thought that there was some fun and new characters being portrayed very well not only by the leads but most of the supporting cast.

Is the show perfect? No
Are there problems? Yes
Does it matter? NOHIGHLIGHTS!!!

1)The choreography by Rob Asford was AMAZING!!! and the ensemble executes it to perfection, there was a damn Ballet! Get it Done!

2)Alli Mauzey (Lenora) Gives a show stealing performance. Her choices are quirky and exactly what the show needs. This role could have been a crazy mess but she plays it with such skill that I can't believe that she wasn't acknowledged. "Screw Loose" is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen on stage in a long time. I was dying, she has the acting to support a character like this and the vocal ability to make the whole thing work. I loved her and can't wait to see what she will do in the future.

3)Elizabeth Stanley's HIGH Mix Belt. period

4) Chester Gregory II gives you some stupid vocals through out the entire show, he is yes the token high High HIGH tenor black guy in a 50's musical, AKA All Shook Up, Grease Revival 1994. He gives you some, I don't even know, full voice B's or higher. just stupid.

5) Carly Jibson gives a hilarious performance and a fierce vocal.

and the list goes on.

So, if you want to have fun and enjoy yourself, or just see a musical unlike any other on Broadway right now, go see Cry Baby and those of you who HATED THIS MUSICAL, I would challenge you to see it again and get off your high horse and open your mind to something that IS shocking and raunchy, yet new and exciting. Who new that could still happen?

I personally would see it again and am going to buy the cast album. Great performances, great songs, Great Choreo, Fun and innovative lyrics. I'm infected!
