Just two months after Mollygood venerated the memory of Cry-Baby, the Rockabilly masterpiece of John Waters and Johnny Depp, reports today declare that the musical will soon be making its debut on the Great White Way.
Are you ready for a Broadway standard called “Girl, Can I Kiss You With Tongue?”
That’s one of the numbers in Cry Baby, the next John Waters -film-turned-musical coming to the Great White Way, in March.
James Snyder, most famous for his turn as Yale Guy #1 on Gilmore Girls, will be playing the lead. Good luck filling shoes owned previously by a young Johnny Depp, Yale Guy #1.
As both Johnny Depp and John Waters are clearly on the decline from what they once were, let me remind you of a time 17 years ago when the two met briefly and created something wondrous. Before Depp was an action figure and when Waters still outfitted his flicks with porn stars and Iggy Pop, the two colluded and committed Cry-Baby to celluloid. If you've not seen it, you need to, and if you have, enjoy the memories.
• You're trying to tell me there's something gay about a John Waters movie with cross-dressing? That's a stretch. [DListed]
• Based on fuzzy science and bad math, I've concluded that babies born in prison are 78 percent more likely to be one of those adults that eats sugar packets. [ICYDK]
• I would have taken a Paris pardon over this shit. [MWN]
• No, seriously, why did Kurt Russell ever change his look? [CityRag]
• Pete finds a non-narcotics-related way to let Kate down. Is that the seventh step? [Yeeeah]
• Entourage does suck, doesn't it? [BWE]
• Marisa Tomei in lingerie. I wish everyone dressed in rhyme for the red carpet. We could have Keri Russell in a bustle, John Hurt in a skirt, Mariska Hargitay in a cardigan (that third one's a stretch). [Glitterati]
• To the tune of "Sexy Back": She's beggin' Justin back, but he don't answer 'cause the girl's a wreck. [IDLYITW]
• Tom Cruise being weird on other people's time. [INO]
• Scary Spice's sonogram. It's definitely Eddie Murphy's. I'd recognize that ultrasonic echo anywhere. [Jossip]
• Debbie Gibson making you like her again. [ICYDK]
• Want a chance to speak to amazing director John Waters? Go to Nerve and ask him anything! I recommend either something really mundane or something really grotesque. Nothing in between. [Nerve]
• Beyonce taking advantage of some vulnerable dancers like she's R. Kelly at the strip club. [TMZ]
