From the creators of Hairspray comes a rockabilly-fuelled musical comedy packed with rebellious spirit and vintage Americana. In 1950s Baltimore, good girl Allison falls for Cry-Baby Walker, the irresistible bad boy leader of the Drapes. Their romance ignites a hilarious battle between the squeaky-clean Squares and the leather-clad outsiders who refuse to fit in.

Funny and bursting with retro style, it's a wild ride you…
