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.

"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!! "

"Fantastic show. The cast is excellent and there is a wonderful story.
It makes me want to visit the city of Tulsa. I understand that the house where they filmed the movie has been made into a museum in Tulsa. "

"Myself (79), daughter (51), son (48) and granddaughter (15) all loved this show and would go back to see it again. The actors' performances, choreography and set design were all fantastic. This show definitely deserved the Tony Award. We saw Josh Strobl in the role of Ponyboy Curtis and his performance was amazing! Congratulations to everyone who was instrumental in making this musical such an overwhelming success. Thank you for a wonderful Broadway experience."

"Set is incredible, lighting is so, so clever, story is classic, music is outstanding, choreography is athletic, creative and fascinating... we saw 5 shows on Broadway while we were in the city, and this was my favorite. Interesting to learn that the cast went to S. E. Hinton's hometown to learn the depth of her inspiration for the story way back when... seemed to really help them embody their roles. Grateful to all involved for this masterpiece performance!"

"I grew up reading the book “The Outsiders” and it was a book that I shared with my children. I was skeptical about the movie when it came out but was pleased when the movie was exactly like the book. The play differs from the original story just a bit, enough to keep the action and story moving along nicely. The songs were fabulous and the cast was very talented. I highly recommend this play!"

"I cannot state how much my sisters and I LOVED this show!! The Outsiders is one of our all-time favorite books, and we can recite the movie verbatim, so to say that we were looking forward to seeing this show is an understatement. And it did not disappoint any of us—not one bit!! The cast, the music, and the special effects are almost beyond my level of explanation here. SO INCREDIBLY GOOD!!! The choreography is OFF THE CHARTS - AMAZING!!!
If you are life-long fans of The Outsiders like us, please take this small piece of advice: Bring tissues. You'll need them to wipe away a few tears during a few scenes during the show, but you will most certainly need them for one song in particular. Stay Gold.
I wish I could give this 10 THOUSAND STARS!!!"
