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!!!"

Tania M from Mill Park on Oct 23, 2024

Worthy of every accolade!

"When I go out to a Broadway show I want to feel it was worth the money. We had orchestra seats in row k and saw every bit of the set and actors. The story was compelling, the dynamic between all the actors was spot on. I brought my nieces and my own nine year old and twelve year old, and while some of the subjects were heart wrenching, I felt they were able to handle it. Every parent has to know their child. I would definitely see this show again and highly reccomend."

Sir Michael Fomkin Reviews The Outsiders!

"There are shows you watch… and then there are shows you experience. The Outsiders on Broadway is one of those rare productions that reminds you why live theater can still hit harder than almost anything on a screen. The performances are raw. The staging is fearless. The music, movement, lighting, and storytelling come together with an energy that feels dangerous, emotional, and completely alive. You know the story, but seeing it unfold on a Broadway stage makes you feel it differently. As a producer, I’m always watching the details—the choices, the pacing, the performances, the way an audience is pulled into a world. But tonight, I found myself doing something better: I stopped analyzing and simply enjoyed the show. That’s the mark of great theater. Congratulations to the cast, crew, creatives, musicians, and everyone behind this extraordinary production. Broadway is incredibly difficult to get right, and The Outsiders gets so much right. If you're in New York City, put this one on your list. Stay Gold."

Such a great show

"Fantastic music and choreography. Great timeless story. All cast had stunning voices and mad dance skills. Some violence/loud noises/death so probably middle school and up. Loved it! "

Betsy R from Orono on Aug 23, 2026

Stay gold!

"Its not the movie but a good mix of the book and movie. Good set, good action, and a fun play."

The best

"Everything about this musical, from performance quality, to music, to choreography, was above and beyond any of my already great expectations. I would say my absolute favorite was both the choreography and the execution of the fistfight under the rain. The level of artistry is just unmatchable. "

Awesome Show and Performances

"I watched the movie many years ago. It became one of my favorite movies, as I watched it multiple times, memorizing many of the lines. The Outsiders on Broadway was authentic and was consistent to the movie story line. I really enjoyed the cast. I didn’t want the show to end. Thank you for such an amazing experience."

...

Anthony R from Sunnyside on Aug 22, 2026

Amazing cast, very moving performance!

"This show was incredible. I had never seen the movie or read the book so I didn’t know what to expect. My two girls (12 and 13 years) were familiar and absolutely loved it. We cried and laughed. The fight scene was unforgettable."

...

Sandra F from Buffalo on Aug 17, 2026

The perfect experience

"This show has changed my life in a way I can’t quite explain. I love every bit of it from the set, to the actors, the songs and the choreography. Every piece of it has a special place in my heart and after seeing it six times I still need to see it again at some point. I highly recommend to everyone! "

“The Real Thing “

"This show was amazing from start to finish …true to any fan who has read the book or has seen the movie …Each character is wonderfully portrayed …the scenery and music take you to vividly to 1950s Tulsa…. Definitely PG-13."
