"Went to the performance and found that the singers voices were not strong enough over the music. We even sat in the front row of the mid-level balcony. It seems like an old story, but a modern version of West Side Story. The Greasers vs the Socials. Thought this was going to be more contemporary, but the place was still full. The dance numbers were modern though especially with the fight scene in the rain. Otherwise, if I knew what it was going to be what it is, I would had chosen another performance. "

It wasn't entertaining enough
"I liked the people doing the show, this has nothing to do with them, they are very talented. There was too many slow songs, kinda boring for my liking. When I think of broadway musical, I enjoy more dancing and upbeat music. This show was not that.
Did not like the Venue - seats were not comfortable!!!"

Disappointed
"We were so excited to see this Tony Award winning show. Our excitement soon turned to disappointment. Although the cast was quite talented, the storyline was difficult to follow, as was the dialogue- and we had very good orchestra seats. The choreography was just okay but we cannot comment on the 2nd Act as we left at Intermission. We are avid theatre patrons and when you pay SO much money for Broadway tickets, it is truly disappointing to not enjoy it. Our recommendation is that you choose another show. "

It was just ok!
"I wish I didn't know it won a Tony for Best Play.
Maybe I expected it to be amazing and in all fairness, the actors were extremely talented but I couldn't feel a connect or a flow with the show.
To me there was no stand out song or performance.
I was disappointed but the Broadway experience is always wonderful. "

Ho Hum
"Songs all seemed the same and nothing that resonates after you leave the performance. I don't get how this won Tony's. We picked this as it was a day before Wednesday and other matinées were not available. Maybe the bar after you see Wicked and some other 'greats' is set too high. "

About
The Outsiders
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.
