Tears: 'Cry-Baby' Closes Sunday

Cry-Baby is the first casualty of the 2008 Tony Awards. It will close Sunday after a disappointing run of 68 performances.

Although nominated for four Tonys (including Best Musical), the show came away empty-handed from Sunday's event. The musical, which has a score by David Javerbaum and Adam Schlesinger, has been doing meager business since opening at the Marquis Theatre in April to reviews ranging from mixed to negative.

Cry-Baby is based on the John Waters film spoof of 1950s teen flicks. (AP)
