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.
There is a rain effect on stage. Drops of water and small rubber pieces from the stage floor may land in or near the first two rows of the Orchestra section (rows A and B).
"I absolutely loved this production!!! It was a dream come true to travel from Melbourne Australia to see this in NYC and it did not disappoint. From the performance to the stage setting, I could not say a bad word as it was so moving, it brought me to tears. Outstanding in every way and highly recommend!!!"

No wonder it was the 2024 Tony winner for best musical
"Although I had not seen the movie or read the book, I had no trouble following this production. The young performers are extremely talented. The music and lyrics effectively conveyed the emotions of the actors. The musical clearly showed why it won the Tony on 2024 for best musical."

Great all around
"The acting, singing, story, special effects were all top-notch. Highly recommend. In my opinion, not appropriate for children under 13 or 14 due to the violence, a couple of sexual scenes (from the ensemble Way in the background but kids pick up on everything) and the subject matter is a little heavy. As an adult, I thought it was superb"
