WE'RE IN THE NEW YORKER HON!
In a NEW YORKER MAGAZINE article by Michael Schulman dated April 28, 2008, there is talk of Baltimore being the setting for two Broadway musicals inspired by John Waters: “Cry-Baby,” and “Hairspray.”
According to the article, Tom Noonan, president of the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association, was recently in New York to preview "Cry Baby," and to prepare for a new marketing campaign aimed at New York theatregoers. An ad for this campaign is in the works, sporting the slogan, “You’ve seen the musical, now visit the set.”
More from the article includes a mentiopn of the Honfest Tradition. Read on, Hon!:
"The “Cry-Baby” campaign will include a microsite on Baltimore.org, directing visitors to John Waters hot spots—“stores he likes, bars he frequents,” Rogers said. While it may seem odd that Waters, whose most indelible screen image of Baltimore may be of a drag queen eating dog feces, has become the city’s poster boy, he “encapsulates what Baltimore is all about,” Noonan insisted. “Baltimore has a quirkiness to it,” he explained. “You can go down to Lithuanian Hall for the Night of 100 Elvises, then to Hampden for the HonFest, where you’re gonna want to wear your spandex and your beehive hairdo. We’re a city that likes to poke fun at itself.”"
