Cry-Baby, The Musical

"a deliciously satirical creation: dark, silly and utterly delightful... a firecracker of a show"

- The Guardian

“Feel-good is the understatement of the year where this show is concerned... two hours of star-spangled fun. You’d be a cry-baby to miss it.”

- Spy in the Stalls

- Plays to See Magazine

“The stellar direction, stunning costumes (Defne Özdogan), vibrant performances, and infectious energy make it a stand out experience—one that speaks to both the past and the present in ways that are impossible to ignore. Don’t miss it!”

“I'd give it all the stars on the flag if I could”

- Curtain Call Reviews

“Satirical and silly, this musical embraces its own ridiculousness, delivering a hilarious and fun-filled evening.”

- Everything Theatre

“—musically infectious, narratively relevant, inventively staged, and very, very funny... This should be a show that runs and runs, but as it stands, it’s only on until mid-April, so see it while you can.”

- The Reviews Hub

“Gloriously trashy in the best way”

- The Evening Standard

“It’s a spicy brew, served up as comedy, and is often helplessly, macabrely funny”

- All That Dazzles

- Operation Live Theatre

“Big, brash, bold and very silly... This show doesn’t come round all too often so take the chance to catch it while you can.”

- West End Best Friend

“The most gloriously trashy and ridiculously brilliant theatre experience you’ll stumble upon this year."

- A Young(ish) Perspective

“You may well see the underlying political point as satire, but if I were you, I’d get myself down to 1954 Baltimore (well 2025 Dalston) and just enjoy the sheer joyfulness of a fun-filled musical”

- London Theatre1

“Cry-Baby The Musical is not just a revival of a cult classic, but a high-energy production full of laughter, dancing, and unforgettable performances that won’t be easily forgotten.”

- Theatre & Tonic

- Reviews Gate

“Bold and brash”

“a kitschy delight... At a time when fringe musicals are much rarer than they were a decade or so ago, seeing a young cast able to go full-out in an intimate space is a pleasure”

“One of the most exciting casts I've seen in a while... a subversive musical theatre treat.. I can't wait to go back”

- Theatre Fan

“must see show - A cult classic, Ergen and his team have blown its doors off and this riot of a musical can break out here too.”

- Fringe Review
