CRY-BABY is a smash, a musical and cultural send up of drape and square mores, while at the same time, a parody of the typical "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back" scenarios that we've all been exposed to in more traditional shows. At times, it's like watching a throwdown between Little Richard and Pat Boone over who really sings "Good Golly, Miss Molly" the best and most authentic. And, at other times, it's a completely over the top take off on shows of the past. For some reason, I was reminded of both The Music Man and West Side Story. Scott Miller and New Line Theatre have once again given us something outside the norm, and it's a joyous ride. This revision of CRY-BABY (I confess, I didn't see it on Broadway) is a sheer delight, full of characters and situations from the movie by filmmaker John Waters, but also standing on its own with a clever and hilarious score (music and lyrics by David Javerbaum and Adam Schlesinger), having jettisoned the tunes from the film itself. Go see this play now. It's wonderfully directed, smartly choreographed, and marvelously acted.

Balladeer, actor, writer, raconteur -- Pat Boone has been a steady force in America entertainment since his early 20s, when first recording his own version of Fats Domino's 'Ain't That a Shame' in 1955 and selling more copies than Domino's original. He would repeat his magic over the next few years, recording such covers as 'Tutti Frutti', 'Long Tall Sally,' 'At My Front Door,' and 'I Almost Lost My Mind,' along with many others, becoming second only to Elvis Presley with Billboard chart hits. His voice and wholesome boy-next-door good image launched dozens of classic hits and steamed up the car windows of many at 50s romance.

Fourteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs' career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history.

Fourteen-time GRAMMY Award-winner Ricky Skaggs' career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs' burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn't already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with 'single-handedly saving country music.' His life's path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact.
