The Outsiders - The Musical

S.E. Hinton’s retro classic ‘The Outsiders’ has been one of those have-to reads since its debut in 1967|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 cutting-edge content touching on violence, addiction, depression, and socio-economic struggles, 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 - absolutely! Since ’The Outsiders’ much anticipated premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse and moving to Broadway’s Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ had a firm grip on the hearts of every single audience member, winning them over once more. The creative mixture of story, sound, lights, and movement results in powerful, unparalleled imagery that will linger in any audience member’s mind for a long time afterwards.

Add some Americana-imbued show tunes delivered in the breathtaking voices of a stellar cast peppered with newcomers, a bountiful serving of striking and stunning imagery, choreography that will make you wonder whether ballet of violence is a thing, a gritty, yet stunning warehouse-like set, and a spirited, visceral spin on the violence, and top it with theatricality that hit all the right notes, and you have a fresh new musical that is quickly becoming one of Broadway’s biggest success stories.

‘The Outsiders’ ticks all the boxes and then some: enough of both newness and familiarity for that x-factor you won’t easily find, the struggles of have-nots that are trying to create rather than destroy in a world where it seems nearly impossible, questions about the vulnerability 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 that came in the direction of ‘The Outsiders’ 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.
