What's left behind the scenes

  • James Intveld and Rachel Sweet provide the singing voices for Johnny Depp and Amy Locane in the film.
  • Although Johnny Depp was not entrusted with performing the vocal parts of his character, the actor’s musical and concert experience was still useful: Depp acted as a consultant and helped assistants choose guitars, amplifiers, and other musical equipment.
  • The film is set in Baltimore – the hometown of director John Waters – in 1954.
  • Prisoners are watching the film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) with 3D glasses, but a regular black and white version is playing on the screen.
  • Johnny Depp hates to dance, but director John Waters convinced him it was necessary for the film.
  • To find a young actor for the role of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, director John Waters spent $30 on teen magazines. Johnny Depp was on all the covers, very popular at the time for his role in "21 Jump Street" (1987-1991). Depp found the script funny and strange, and agreed to take on this unusual role for himself in an attempt to escape the image of a teen idol.
  • Iggy Pop was forced to shave his head for the film. John Waters still keeps a lock of his hair in a photo album at home.
  • Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., and Jim Carrey were also considered for the role of Cry-Baby.
  • Drew Barrymore was considered for the role of Allison.
  • Although the tattoo of "Cry-Baby" on Johnny Depp's arm is fake, the Indian tattoo above it is real.
  • The film is set in 1954. However, Milton in Ramona's house is reading an issue of Tales To Astonish #12, which wouldn't be released until October 1960.
  • Prisoners are watching the film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) with 3D glasses, but a regular black and white version is playing on the screen.
