Student led UNBC Musical Productions (UNBCMP) has teamed up, officially, for the third time with Theatre North West (TNW) in their most daring venture yet. Rikki Holland of UNBCMP and Bradley Charles of TNW share their excitement bringing the edgy fun of “Cry Baby” the Musical to the stage. Adapted by Mark O’Donnell & Thomas Meehan from the film by John Waters, a self described Filth Elder.
Societally, we tend to reminisce over the 1950s as the good Ol’ days when burgers were cheap and life was easy. That rang true for some but many were excluded from the glory days for any number of reasons ranging from race to class, and Waters, through UNBCMP’s performance, reminds us of that through cheeky wit. 1950s period costumes, a live band, choreographed dances, and a committed ensemble are all set to impress from March 14th-17th & 21st-23rd. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for students.
