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.

"The cast was so special and extremely talented. Their performances were absolutely wonderful and truly a tribute for those of us kids of the 80’s who know the originals. Language and context is a little much for 13 and under….. "

"Excellent and creative. They took a basic 7th grade required reading book and created a musical! Amazing! The performance held the audiences interest and we cared about their issues. Very touching!"

"The Outsiders has been my favorite book since the end of elementary school, so it was a no brainer for me that it would be my first on Broadway show! It was also my daughter’s birthday celebration! I cannot recommend the show enough, it is mostly spot on to the book with a little extra pizazz (I won’t spoil it for you)! The actors stayed so true to character. We did have the understudy (Trevor) as the lead the night we went, and he did not disappoint! His voice is clearer to me than the original lead’s recordings. We stayed after to meet the cast, and they couldn’t be kinder. My daughter is already planning a trip back to NYC to specifically see this show. "

"Took my girls (18 and 15) to NYC for the weekend to see the Outsiders. We had a fantastic time. The show was fantastic. We just loved the music and the choreography. Great cast for this show. The only downfall was the theater itself. There was hardly any leg room and temperature was warm. "

"Made the trek from Maine so our middle school family members could see one of their favorite stories on Broadway. The show beat all our expectations! The cast was electric. The singing was beautiful. Dancing was impressive. The effects, especially the rumble scene, were powerful! Do not miss this one folks!"

"I have never seen a show like this! From the choreography to the music, the talent of every single performer to the special effects, it was AMAZING! It stayed true to SE Hinton’s novel as well! I was amazed, as was my son. A few things I recommend: I would not bring anyone younger than 12 to see it, and I would recommended reading the novel so you know what to expect. It was AMAZING!!!!! Will see again. "

"The Outsiders is one of my favorite books - read many times in school. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the musical, but I was quite literally blown away! Goosebumps from the impeccable vocals, and awestruck by the use of lighting and sound. Wonderful job by all!"

"The outstanding and talented cast delivered a moving rendition of this important story. Impressive and high quality design elements that supports rather than overpowers the story, and the choreography was dynamic, creative and impactful. The Outsiders packs an emotional punch for all the right reasons - I highly recommend."

"The themes in this feel timeless. It seems like a fresh, contemporary interpretation of a mix of "West Side Story," "Footloose" and "Grease." The choreography, scenic design and performances are outstanding."

"This musical is not just another Broadway show. It’s a story about life, and the connections we have with the people around us. The whole production - the songs, the lyrics, the presentation, and of course the actors, brought out the feelings of what happened in Tulsa in 1967. I watched it twice (once in March/April 2024) and recently in Oct 2024, and both performances I felt the emotions in me. It’s highly recommended not just for the performances and the production but also how the stories can relate to us in our own lives. Thanks to everyone on the team for bringing us into the whole experience 🥰"

"A lover of both the book and the movie, I was very apprehensive at the thought of a musical adaptation but was very impressed. The actors (including the lead) were amazing. The music and esp the choreography surprised me. I had already been impressed by the Tony awards performance they showed, enough to purchase a ticket but left very pleased! "

"It was a high energy ensemble with great performances from all cast members. It is one of those shows where I couldn't determine which performance I liked best which is a great problem to have. The show deserves the accolades that it has received already .There are moments that were reminiscent of West Side Story, Rent and Grease. I had the pleasure of sitting in the front row and was able to see the genuine intense emotions in each actor's face and body language during their performances it was an experience I will not forget I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it."

"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 "
