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 flexing both muscle and tenderness at the same time, we were all moved by the relevance of the tale of Tonyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Sodapop Curtis, Cherry Valance and the others.

The question is, however, will the musical be able to fill the shoes of the iconic novel?

And the answer is a resounding yes! Since ’The Outsiders’ much anticipated premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse and making its Broadway debut in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ took a firm hold of every audience member, winning them over once more. The breathtaking fusion of story, sound, lights, and movement, topped by music that is quickly becoming the new song for misfits, guaranteed to walk boldly in the footsteps of the literary legacy.

Add some Americana-imbued show tunes masterfully crafted by Jamestown Revival’s Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance alongside Justin Levine, delivered in the superb voices of a magnificent cast peppered with newcomers, a generous serving of striking and stunning imagery, extraordinary choreography, a gritty, yet creative warehouse-like set, and a fiery, visceral spin on the violence, and top it with theatricality that hit all the right notes, and you have a production that is quickly becoming one of Broadway’s loudest success stories.

‘The Outsiders’ has it all and more: the excitement of both novelty and familiarity oozing into a superb theatrical production, the emotional rollercoaster of being young and the struggles 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 being born into violence, 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.

It’s undeniable: ‘The Outsiders’ is an outsider stepping into the inner-circle of top Broadway productions.
