I enjoyed that number a lot on the Tonys… and I'm willing to assume his work with the musical numbers throughout was good. But Cry-Baby is a heightened and stylized story and execution, by nature, and I think Ashford's unnatural/inorganic choreography and movement would be much better suited to that kind of material.

Just because someone is good at choreographing one type of show doesn't mean can do them all.
