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.
