As I mentioned, I didn't see Cry-Baby (I liked the Tony number) but I feel strongly that Ashford's choreography almost ruined the whole show for me. It was suffocating and obnoxiously overdone. You know when the show starts with a choreographed bit that he added that the director isn't running the show the choreographer is, even if they are the same person. I would say he needs a director with better taste deciding what of his dancing is appropriate, but then, Michael Grandage seems to have given him the green light to ruin a whole lot of the musical staging in Evita, so who knows.
