This show was the highlight of our trip!
"As a longtime fan of the book and movie, I was so excited to find out The Outsiders had been made into a musical. And it delivers! The performances and the staging are absolutely beautiful and creative. The cast just radiates love for what they're doing. I would love to see it again and recommend The Outsiders to anyone with a heart. Thank you, S.E. Hinton, for making it all possible in the first place:)"

A Phenomenal Story
"Second time visiting Tulsa and I loved every moment as if it were the first all over again! Amazing cast, such creativity and the music hits right in the soul; serious goosebumps throughout the entire performance. Everyone on that stage pours their heart and passion into their performances and I can’t wait to go back! Also super lovely to chat with some of the actors, you guys are so sweet and so talented. Stay gold!!! "

Fabulous Adaptation of Original Book & Movie
"The cast was so special and extremely talented. Their performances were absolutely wonderful and truly a tribute for those of us kids of the 80’s who know the originals. Language and context is a little much for 13 and under….. "

Bringing a Classic to Life
"Excellent and creative. They took a basic 7th grade required reading book and created a musical! Amazing! The performance held the audiences interest and we cared about their issues. Very touching!"

Walking into the pages of my favorite book
"The Outsiders has been my favorite book since the end of elementary school, so it was a no brainer for me that it would be my first on Broadway show! It was also my daughter’s birthday celebration! I cannot recommend the show enough, it is mostly spot on to the book with a little extra pizazz (I won’t spoil it for you)! The actors stayed so true to character. We did have the understudy (Trevor) as the lead the night we went, and he did not disappoint! His voice is clearer to me than the original lead’s recordings. We stayed after to meet the cast, and they couldn’t be kinder. My daughter is already planning a trip back to NYC to specifically see this show. "

Would I recommend this show?? YES YES YES
"Took my girls (18 and 15) to NYC for the weekend to see the Outsiders. We had a fantastic time. The show was fantastic. We just loved the music and the choreography. Great cast for this show. The only downfall was the theater itself. There was hardly any leg room and temperature was warm. "

Best I’ve seen yet!
"I have never seen a show like this! From the choreography to the music, the talent of every single performer to the special effects, it was AMAZING! It stayed true to SE Hinton’s novel as well! I was amazed, as was my son. A few things I recommend: I would not bring anyone younger than 12 to see it, and I would recommended reading the novel so you know what to expect. It was AMAZING!!!!! Will see again. "

A rush of nostalgia
"The Outsiders is one of my favorite books - read many times in school. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the musical, but I was quite literally blown away! Goosebumps from the impeccable vocals, and awestruck by the use of lighting and sound. Wonderful job by all!"

An Outstanding Musical Adaptation of the Novel
"The outstanding and talented cast delivered a moving rendition of this important story. Impressive and high quality design elements that supports rather than overpowers the story, and the choreography was dynamic, creative and impactful. The Outsiders packs an emotional punch for all the right reasons - I highly recommend."

Don't miss this show!!
"The themes in this feel timeless. It seems like a fresh, contemporary interpretation of a mix of "West Side Story," "Footloose" and "Grease." The choreography, scenic design and performances are outstanding."

A musical about life
"This musical is not just another Broadway show. It’s a story about life, and the connections we have with the people around us. The whole production - the songs, the lyrics, the presentation, and of course the actors, brought out the feelings of what happened in Tulsa in 1967. I watched it twice (once in March/April 2024) and recently in Oct 2024, and both performances I felt the emotions in me. It’s highly recommended not just for the performances and the production but also how the stories can relate to us in our own lives. Thanks to everyone on the team for bringing us into the whole experience 🥰"

Beautiful transition from book and movie to the stage
"A lover of both the book and the movie, I was very apprehensive at the thought of a musical adaptation but was very impressed. The actors (including the lead) were amazing. The music and esp the choreography surprised me. I had already been impressed by the Tony awards performance they showed, enough to purchase a ticket but left very pleased! "

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.
