Loved it!
"This show was so fantastic! I wouldn’t necessarily recommend for younger kids, but 12 and up would be good, just because there are some heavy topics to process. Original and beautiful lighting, choreography, and singing, my new favorite from Broadway. Highly recommend!!!"

Great interpretation of the book
"This musical was by far one of the best I have seen. My daughter (17) has not read the book and did not really have a working knowledge of the story. The cast brought the characters to LIFE in the most fantastical way. I would 100% recommend this show for anyone that's on the fence about going to see it. "

Outstanding performance combined with amazing set
"10 out of 10 would recommend. Between the brilliant cast and the incredible lighting, effects, and set design this outshone my expectations. Brody was an immaculate Pony Boy and the whole cast did great justice to a timeless piece of literature."

Wonderful staging, strong performances, uplifting story
"After watching the movie the night before, I was familiar with the story and was looking forward to how they would stage some of the more dramatic scenes. I was very pleased with how effective the stagecraft was to convey the story. The music and lyrics were excellent and made the characters more three dimensional. Really strong performances from Dallas and the oldest Curtis brother. Very moving ending. Not sure I would recommend it for children under 12, but it would be an excellent vehicle to discuss some great topics with teenagers."

Life Changing!
"I may be biased because The Outsiders is my all time favorite book, but this show was life changing for me! Everything about it is amazing! It does have some language in it, so keep that in mind if you don't want your kids to hear certain words, but it felt more realistic that way. They are Greasers, after all. You have to see this! Especially if you had to read the book in middle school and ended up loving it. "

Gangs and Peer Pressure
"The popular novel for teens was incredibly well done, with intense drama, emotional singing and staging, and a set design that was an extension of the stage. Nine high school groups were present at the show I attended, and ALL OF THEM jumped to their feet as soon as the curtain came down. That truly says it all - art imitating life!!"

So much more than I expected
"I didn’t go in with many expectations but this show was so much more than I ever imagined. They made such amazing use of the stage and did things I didn’t know could be done on an indoor Broadway stage. The choreography and musical talent were out of this world. I would absolutely pay to see this show again and would recommend it to anyone visiting New York. "

Thoroughly enjoyed this show and the theater
"I loved the songs in this performance. Each performer's voice was perfectly suited for the songs. The gritty gravel on the stage and the rain scene added to the realism of the set. The costuming and each character's "look" seemed authentic to 1967. I am really glad to add this playbook to my collection."

The Outsiders was a fantastic show!
"I flew 3000 miles to see this show after listening to the album for almost a year. It was everything I hoped for and much more. The creative directing, the amazing singing and acting, the energetic and exciting choreography, the dramatic lighting, the poignant, tragic, yet heartfelt and profound story. I could find absolutely nothing to complain about. I was excited to be able to see most of the original cast I had been listening to for so long. Even when there were technical difficulties and Dally had to sing "Little Brother" without a mic and they stopped the show to fix the problem -- the actors came back after the break and picked up like nothing was wrong! It was amazing. Loved, loved, LOVED, this show and if I was able, I would watch it over and over. I hope it tours to Seattle so I can see it again!"

The Outsiders on Broadway
"I love it when a piece of art lingers in your mind for days, making you reflect on its themes long after the curtain falls. The Outsiders did exactly that. The set design was both clever and immersive, seamlessly transforming the stage into various settings with creative ingenuity. The costumes perfectly captured the era, and the choreography was thrilling—dynamic and raw, adding to the emotional intensity of the story. But the heart of the production was in the performances. Every voice, and every moment of acting was deeply felt, bringing an incredible depth to the characters and making for an unforgettable theatrical experience."

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.
