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. "

Most creative musical in years!!
"I am so tired of Broadway musicals that are rehashes of movies or pop singers’ songbooks. “Dead Outlaw” was completely new and creative, witty, funny, heartbreaking, and delightful all rolled into an hour and a half of sheer fun that will leave you feeling great at the end. The performances were amazing. The music is fun and accessible and covers a variety of genres. The direction was brilliant. And the lighting was some of the best I’ve seen in years. If you’re tired of sequins and sequels, get to Dead Outlaw as fast as you can. Best musical I’ve seen since Hadestown in previews!"

The stillness of the dead Outlaw in his coffin makes impossible to look awa
"It’s as much a concert as a play. The music keeps the joint jumping while everyone except the male lead play multiple characters and each get their own solo. The story is as funny as it is surprising. "

About
Dead Outlaw
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!”
