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.

" It was absolutely wonderful... I cry , I laughed and I came away feeling I need to value the people in the life and to overlook people's idiosyncrasies and just accept each person for who they are.
It was an exceptional musical and the actors made we feel what they were feeling . "

"I am an English teacher from Oklahoma, where the story is set, and I teach the book and show the movie every year. My expectations were high. And this performance did not disappoint! Some adaptations are expected, but I was pleased with how the essence of the story was retained, and the actors were phenomenal. Dancing wowed us, music was spectacular. I was in tears by the end. If familiar with the story, you must see it!"

I believe the whole thing was well done! although they changed some things from the book/movie I would still recommend this to anyone if you're in New York. I would also go to say that this is one of the best plays I have ever seen!"

"This show absolutely blew me away. The story, the actors, the set, all of it was so well done. The outsiders is one of my favorite books, and now this is one of my favorite musicals. The adaptation was done so well and the actors truly captured the emotion and depth of the characters they played. Also the use of the set was incredible to watch because although the backdrop of the stationary set never changed, the choreographed movements and changes and use of the tires, planks, car, etc was so cool to watch. This was all only enhanced by the unique lighting design which utilized some unconventional aspects, such as flashlights as well as other cues to give the illusion of a slow motion effect.
This was one of the most incredible performances I have ever seen from start to finish. I laughed, cried, and was so drawn in and invested I felt as if I was really there in Tulsa ‘67 living through the story alongside Ponyboy and his friends. I can’t wait to see this again!"
