First of all, oh my goodness! I forgot that
Cry Baby even existed. I remember seeing that show on Broadway and being like: "What am I even watching right now?" I think that the only way to get accompaniment tracks for that show would probably be to commission them yourself, which would be more expensive than just hiring a band.
If you don't care about your accompaniment tracks being high-quality, I suppose you could always use audio cancelling on the OCR.
I blogged about it a while ago. Those tracks never sound great, but they can do in a pinch.

We were planning on Cry Baby being our spring musical and we do not use a live orchestra. I've always used The MT Pit, but discovered they do not offer the canned orchestrations for Cry Baby and will not within the next year. Are you aware of any other companies that provide instrumental track libraries for musicals? If not any other alternative ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer.
