The winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical is The Outsiders. This classic coming-of-age story takes you to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967, where Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade, and their family of Greaser “outsiders” dream about who they want to become in a world that will never accept them. The Outsiders features a “tuneful and soul-bearing” (New York Stage Review) original score, “high-octane choreography” (New York Magazine), and a “sensational young cast” (The Wall Street Journal) that brings the show to life.

"My wife and I attended on her suggestion. I have not been a big show goer in the past, so my experience is limited.
However, I do know when I see something I like and when I am impressed by it.
This show was amazing. It was well constructed and directed and truly portrayed a story from start to finish. It had my attention the entire time and I felt pulled-in and involved in it. The Cast members (team) were amazing.
Seeing this show has inspired me to seek out others to hopefully experience to the same feelings. I was blown away and would see it again tomorrow !! For Real."

"It's about trying to fit in a world where all they care about is money. It's about appreciating what matters the most which is family, friends and who are with you for the long run! "

"The entire performance - singing, dancing, the choreography, the orchestra, the lighting, the staging …everything was extraordinary. I grew up reading the book and saw the movie ( Gen Xers unite!) many, many times and the play did both justice. I left the theatre rushing home to see the movie. Simply wonderful! Thank you for putting on such a fantastic performance. Bravo!!!!"

"Of course it's a compelling story. But the production is what puts this show over the top. Slow motion drama, partial scenery and great music complement this wonderful cast. Hard to beat the original movie cast. But they keep up. Do not miss!"

"This show is extraordinarily well produced. The special effects and choreography are amazing. The music is great. The cast is expert with amazing vocalists. The story is sad but the musical portrayal of it is beautiful. The vocals, harmony and music all go together for one of the best shows you can see. It will stand out in our memories, whereas numerous others have already faded away. The accolades are well deserved."

"I loved the book and was so excited to hear it was being adapted as a musical, but also very nervous. My expectations were very high and I was not disappointed. The care and passion for the story are plain to see. The actors give one hell of a performance! The story is faithful to the book, with very few changes. I absolutely adored the show and want to see it over and over again. "

Joseph H from Dickson city on Sep 1, 2024
"The Actors and Actresses really kept the intrest of young teenagers. If anyone can do that, it's a win for me. All 3 young teens came out of the theater discussing how great the show was and how in tuned they were with the show. How it followed the book and movie closely with no gaps. The only thing they regret is not sticking around for autographs. Phenomenal job to all who played a part in the production of The Outsiders! "

"Came from England to see this for the second time. This show is absolutely incredible, it takes you on a real roller coaster of emotions but it's worth every second! The singing and dancing in phenomenal, the rumble being my personal favourite! The cast put their heart and soul into every performance which you can clearly see and feel while watching. Well deserving of their Tonys, should have won more in my opinion!! "
