Story

He was wanted by the law, killed by a posse... and then his career really took off! Based on the “that can’t actually be true” story of bumbling bandit Elmer McCurdy and winner of three Best Musical awards (Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, NY Drama Critics’ Circle), this “rollicking, darkly hilarious, and thoroughly original musical will knock you dead!” (Time Out). Step right up and get tickets to the show Entertainment Weekly calls “a truly one-of-a-kind production, complete with a whole lot of laughs and a surprising amount of heart. It needs to be seen to be believed!”

They said it was hilarious and it’s true!
"Dead Outlaw was hilarious and very well done! I honestly did not know what to expect. It was a very different story, the set was simple yet excellent, the cast was amazing, the music was great, I highly recommend it. I took my college age son to see it and he said it was one of the top shows he’s ever seen. "

You couldn’t expect to be so amused by a dead man’s journey!
"I’ve seen a lot of theater. A LOT of theater. And to take this premise and make a great story out of it is phenomenal. That coupled with great music (several songs are great stand-alone tunes and could easily air on radio) makes this a welcome surprise that tickles that part of the pallet that rarely gets used. See it. "

Jump right in to the audacious, mind bending saga. Music rocks.
"Starts quietly and moves or jumps quickly to life and death decisions, never losing its surreal grip on your humor button and your wondering how can this be? Rollicking story with music to drive it into your mind. Wonderful and American. Funny and outrageous. "

"The play kept one in “stitches” the entire time. It was amazing how the various actors played their many roles. Every actor was OUTSTANDING! A salute to each and the play was one to remember. Thank you for the enjoyment provided. 👍"

"Not the typical musical. Totally different setup, great storyline but performed in an unusual way so as to remain entertaining and enjoyable. The cast was incredibly talented. Based on a true story made it even more compelling. "
