Shannon MS got it just right with their thoroughly entertaining, side-splittingly funny production.

Summary by Stageify

An AIMS adjudication of Shannon Musical Society's Cry-Baby, seen on 20 February 2025 at St. Patrick's Comprehensive School. The adjudicator finds a lively, funny staging that suits the satire, praising the young cast, the director's grasp of the show's tone, the 1950s-style choreography and several lead and supporting performances. Set, costumes and props are commended for detail. The main criticisms are that the band sometimes overpowered the singers and hid the humorous lyrics, and that the lighting needed more attention.
