About The Outsiders on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

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.

Outstanding

"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!!!"

An unforgettable Broadway experience!

"Seeing The Outsiders on Broadway was absolutely incredible! We sat in the front row, and it truly felt like we were part of the show. The energy, emotion, and talent of the cast were unbelievable. Being that close to the action made the entire experience even more powerful and immersive. But what made it truly unforgettable was that we were there celebrating my daughter’s birthday, and Pony Boy gave her a copy of The Outsiders book! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that made her birthday trip even more special. It’s a memory she’ll treasure forever. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re considering seeing The Outsiders, GO! And if you can get front-row seats and want to be a part of the action (gravel and all) they’re worth every penny. Hands down, one of the highlights of our NYC trip! ❤️"

Acting, music, stage design!

"I read The Outsiders in 8th grade, my daughter read it in MS, and her wish to was see this show for her 23rd birthday. I was hesitant to see this show not remembering a lot about the book and trying to imagine how they would make this into a theater performance. Between the talent of the actors, the stage design, the lighting and music, it all came together perfectly, providing suspense and amazement. Pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. "

Worth it!!

"This was the first Broadway Show I have attended and it didn't disappoint. The actors were believable, telling a story of the ages. The theatrical vision hit hard in the best way. I had an amazing time and would highly recommend. Additionally, their corralling of humans to and through the women's restroom helped immensely."

Best Show I've Seen

"This was my 5th Broadway show this year and was without a doubt my favorite (Hadestown, Lion King, Rocky Horror, and Wicked were the other shows for reference). I was absolutely moved to tears by the performance and the stage direction was equally amazing, having a more "traditional" feel with props serving multiple uses like a stationary car being used as a couch and bed in some scenes or simulating a train car with a few wooden planks really gave it a classic theatre feel. And despite only seeing the show in the last month the cast album will definitely be a top contender on my spotify wrapped for the year. I will say, I haven't read The Outsiders in more than a decade so I can't attest to how well avid lovers of the book will feel about some plot differences in the show, but I have no doubt that they will still find the performance absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. I truly can't wait to see this show again. "

AMAZING Storytelling & Performances

"I didn't read the book and didn't watch the movie, so I truly went in blind for the musical. WOW! I was blown away by the cast. I was in tears by "Stay Gold" and never really stopped wiping my cheeks until curtain call. This is such a talented cast. Noah Pacht is captivating as Ponyboy. Caleb Mathura makes you just want to hug and protect Johnny Cade from the cruel world. Daryl Tofa was amazing as Dallas Winston. If you have time in the city, please see this show. You'll be playing the OBC soundtrack in no time. "

My wife cried for an hour!

"The Outsiders performance was emotionally gut wrenching. The performers really connected with their characters and sucked you into the story. I was brought to tears multiple times and my wife cried for an hour - in the best way! She had read the book and we both love the movie. The musical crushed it. "
