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.

AMAZING
"The performance was absolutely AMAZING. I’ve read the book, watched the movie and cried every single time. When the performance began, I didn’t think I would cry as much as when I read the book, but I did. It was beautiful. The cast did an amazing job at portraying the characters. Each song was incredibly catchy. If you enjoyed both the book and the movie, I absolutely recommend watching this musical, you won’t regret it. It’s a wonderful memory to have, and I hope that others will have it too. The performance was truly remarkable. "

"I saw this with my 12 year old daughter and loved it. Then we took my 10 year old son and loved it. I probably wouldn’t take a child younger than 10. There were a couple F-bombs and the content can be heavy. But such a beautiful message and so well done. "
