Known for her unique style, The Guardian defines Martinez as “off-kilter, sweary electropop.” In an interview with Altpress, Martinez is excited about touring, “It’s been a bit since I’ve been on tour and I’m incredibly excited to bring the movie to life on stage. I’m putting all of my energy into making it not only visually stunning and pleasing to the senses but also a fun learning experience and a safe place to express yourself and be accepted for exactly who you are.”
Fans can expect her performance to be creative and unique, with Martinez playing favorites from “Cry Baby,” such as “Carousel” and “Dollhouse.” In support of her new album, as Martinez takes to the stage she’ll no doubt perform new material, including the much anticipated “Lunchbox Friends.”
