About The Outsiders

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.

"Having grown up reading this book and watching the movie repeatedly there was no way I was going to miss out seeing it on broadway. Wow! What a show! The music the dancing every minute of the entire performance was amazing. I am already planning a return trip to see it again! I can’t imagine anyone having a negative experience. Every seat in the house appears to be a great place to see the stage. It was clean and every person I came in contact with was helpful and courteous. What a great way to spend an afternoon in New York "

"The cast is fantastic. The musical itself is well paced and presented in a way that even if you’re familiar with the story thanks to the book or the movie, this show keeps it fresh and engaging. The use of Fx, sound and lighting and the way it it staged makes this show come alive. See this show! "

"This show has everything! It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking, it’s deep but lighthearted too. It’s funny and the music is to die for. The cast pulls you into their world and makes you want to be a better human. Some adult themes throughout and language need to be considered before bringing any child under 12. Otherwise I would recommend it to everyone!"

"This musical is a phenomenal rendition of a timeless book that portrays the struggles of so many teens. The music and the choreography were exceptional and the message that we are all connected as humans rings through loud and clear. We may be relegated and identified by what divides us all but inside as pony boy says at the end “there is so much more to us all” we need to try to stay Golden! Bravo to the outsiders -I brought my teen girls who revere this book and they were blow away by it! A must see for any parent and teen -"

"I found it amazing. I love how they made certain scenes and the music was some of the best I’ve ever heard. I love how it stuck to the original plot and even added small details from the book. I loved the decorations, lighting, dancing, everything. It was all just so creative. I loved the creativity on how certain scenes were made. This has to be the new musical I have ever seen."

"The show exceeded our expectations with very unique and effective sound and lighting effects. Singing- outstanding! Well- adapted to book with a couple modernizations. Language was disappointing which eliminates taking a younger audience, but excellent musical!"

"A tour de force performance from a talented passionate cast. You are quickly pulled into Tulsa, 1967 by Pony Boy’s desperate search for a life with deeper meaning. However he cannot escape the tragedies of small town gang violence, racism and class bigotry. Ultimately, the over arching theme of how the characters’ passionate loyalty and love provides for the sliver of hope we are all searching to feel. The voices and the dance sequences are both moving and often riveting. A must see if you’re in NYC and want to experience the very best of what this art form can be. PS - Soda Pop…was one of my faves! Simple and gruff on the outside, pure love and compassion on the inside!!! Bravo to the whole cast."

"Loved the music, the energy and the story. Only comment about children seeing it is due to a bit of language and fight scenes. Teenagers would be fine but May not be appropriate for young children. Absolutely recommend seeing."

"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."
