Beautifully tragic
"This show was unlike anything I've ever seen on Broadway before and I absolutely loved it. The story was beautifully told and I felt everything the characters were portraying. The musicianship was stellar, the harmonies were probably my favorite, and the dynamics on stage were out o this world. I highly recommend this show! "

Still Gold
"I loved the book many years ago growing up in a small town and relating to Ponyboy’s desire for something more. I loved the show! The songs, dialogue and theatrics were true to the novel. The is a story of passion, grit, loyalty and family, not just the one you’re born into. I would definitely see this show again! "

Two Thumbs from Middle School English Teacher
"I taught “The Outsiders” 5 times every school year for 10 years to over 1500 students! I knew that novel inside and out. Watching SE Hinton’s story come to life on a Broadway stage was a dream come true for me. My husband has never read the novel and he was just as thrilled with the prodiction. 100000% recommended!"

No wonder it was the 2024 Tony winner for best musical
"Although I had not seen the movie or read the book, I had no trouble following this production. The young performers are extremely talented. The music and lyrics effectively conveyed the emotions of the actors. The musical clearly showed why it won the Tony on 2024 for best musical."

Great all around
"The acting, singing, story, special effects were all top-notch. Highly recommend. In my opinion, not appropriate for children under 13 or 14 due to the violence, a couple of sexual scenes (from the ensemble Way in the background but kids pick up on everything) and the subject matter is a little heavy. As an adult, I thought it was superb"

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.
