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!!!"

Talent Galore

"Meaningful story representation….excellent music….quality performances/dancers and singers. Portrayed emotions in passionate way. Just wish that the writer could eliminate using the Lord’s name in vain/cursing. "

my son's new favorite

"Worth seeing, story and acting were superb, full house in a cozy venue"

...

Erkut E from Brookline on Apr 19, 2026

A great show for young adults and old adults

"The set, choreography, story, and actors were all excellent. There are some differences with the book and movie but the differences make sense. I loved the parts where the action freezes and Ponyboy has a soliloquy. The themes the characters deal with are universal whether you are a soc or a greaser, loved it. There are a few themes and some adult language that may not be suitable for younger audiences."

Broadway.com Customer on Apr 16, 2026

Heartfelt and riveting

"The show’s story and cast was truly amazing! It’s an emotional story and so well done you find yourself immersed in the show with tears down your face. My only caution to people who are sensitive to bright sudden light is to maybe choose seats more to the right and further from the stage. But that element added to the drama and transition of the scenes. Truly amazing!"
