Melbourne Jewish theatre company Saltpillar will stage Cry-Baby the Musical at the Phoenix Theatre in Elwood from October 11 to 25.
The musical is based on John Waters’ 1990 film and is set in 1954 Baltimore following a group of rebellious teenagers known as the Drapes.
The production is directed by George Lazaris, with music direction by Matan Franco and choreography by Leona Lenore. Jesse Kline plays the title role, with Joelle Noar as Allison, in a cast of more than 20 performers.
Founded in 1986, Saltpillar is a Jewish organisation that stages productions with local performers while engaging the broader Melbourne community.
Saltpillar producer Dani Harrison said the company provides a space for young Jewish performers.
