The Outsiders - A Must-See Musical

S.E. Hinton’s iconic novel ‘The Outsiders’ was a literary staple in every single middle and high school English class|has been one of those books everybody need to read at least once in their lives since it was first released}, and even though some eyebrows were raised at the groundbreaking content dealing with the emotional rollercoasters of youth, we were instantly captivated by the timeless tale of Tonyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Sodapop Curtis, Cherry Valance and the others.

The success of the novel, however, left some massive shoes to fill, and the question is whether that is actually possible.

And the answer is a resounding yes!

The breathtaking fusion of story, sound, lights, and movement results in a visually stirring experience that will linger in any audience member’s mind for a long time afterwards.

‘The Outsiders’ ticks all the boxes and then some: the thrill of both novelty and familiarity oozing into a superb theatrical production, the emotional rollercoaster of being young and the continuous scuffles of have-nots in a world of have-its, questions about the susceptibility of teenage boys to violence and harm, the difficulties of being an outsider, and the struggles of having a lot of heart and remaining truthful in an unkind world, that moment you grasp that you’re actually witnessing one of the world’s best, latest productions and the realization that every single award on ‘The Outsiders’ award shelf was well deserved - including four Tony Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, and a Chita Rivera Award.
