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.

"If you get the chance, see this show! Especially if you love the novel by S.E. Hinton. This is a beautiful adaptation - incorporating innovative choreography, staging, and fantastic music. Absolutely stunning performances from the entire cast. Cannot recommend this highly enough and I was visiting from Australia - beyond worth it!!"

"I loved the book and was so excited to hear it was being adapted as a musical, but also very nervous. My expectations were very high and I was not disappointed. The care and passion for the story are plain to see. The actors give one hell of a performance! The story is faithful to the book, with very few changes. I absolutely adored the show and want to see it over and over again. "

"I’ve been going to Broadway shows for nearly 40 years. The Outsider’s was an instant favorite from the opening act and song. I plan to see it again soon. Sometimes a standing ovation feels like a formality, this one was well deserved!"

Joseph H from Dickson city on Sep 1, 2024
"The Actors and Actresses really kept the intrest of young teenagers. If anyone can do that, it's a win for me. All 3 young teens came out of the theater discussing how great the show was and how in tuned they were with the show. How it followed the book and movie closely with no gaps. The only thing they regret is not sticking around for autographs. Phenomenal job to all who played a part in the production of The Outsiders! "

"Came from England to see this for the second time. This show is absolutely incredible, it takes you on a real roller coaster of emotions but it's worth every second! The singing and dancing in phenomenal, the rumble being my personal favourite! The cast put their heart and soul into every performance which you can clearly see and feel while watching. Well deserving of their Tonys, should have won more in my opinion!! "

It makes me want to visit the city of Tulsa. I understand that the house where they filmed the movie has been made into a museum in Tulsa. "

"Set is incredible, lighting is so, so clever, story is classic, music is outstanding, choreography is athletic, creative and fascinating... we saw 5 shows on Broadway while we were in the city, and this was my favorite. Interesting to learn that the cast went to S. E. Hinton's hometown to learn the depth of her inspiration for the story way back when... seemed to really help them embody their roles. Grateful to all involved for this masterpiece performance!"

"I grew up reading the book “The Outsiders” and it was a book that I shared with my children. I was skeptical about the movie when it came out but was pleased when the movie was exactly like the book. The play differs from the original story just a bit, enough to keep the action and story moving along nicely. The songs were fabulous and the cast was very talented. I highly recommend this play!"
