Video: THE OUTSIDERS Tour Gets Ready to Hit the Road

Rehearsals are officially underway for the North American tour of The Outsiders, the Tony Award winning Best Musical. The tour will tech and launch at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre in Buffalo, NY, before its official opening in Tulsa, OK, on Wednesday, October 8 at Tulsa Performing Arts Center.

"People were introduced to [The Outsiders] in the 60s, and then in the 80s with the movie, and then now with our version of the show," said Mark Doyle, who plays Bob in the tour. "It's really exciting to get to bring it across the country to people who maybe haven't gotten the chance to come to Broadway to see it... but we're gonna bring it to them!"

"It's crazy getting to portray such an iconic character across the country, because I read the book when I was in middle school. It's kind of like a full circle moment for me, " added Nolan White, who plays Ponyboy Curtis.

The cast also includes Bonale Fambrini as Johnny Cade, Tyler Jordan Wesley as Dallas Winston, Travis Roy Rogers as Darrel Curtis, Corbin Drew Ross as Sodapop Curtis, Emma Hearn as Cherry Valance, Jaydon Nget as Two-Bit, and Jackson Reagin as Paul. At certain performances, Jordan DeAndre Williams will play the role of Ponyboy. With Seth Ajani, Christian Arredondo, Brandon Mel Borkowsky, Dante D’Antonio, Gina Gagliano, Hannah Jennens, Giuseppe Little, Sebastian Martinez, Justice Moore, Mekhi Payne, John Michael Peterson, Katie Riedel, Luke Sabracos, Johnathan Tanner, and Alyssa Villareal.

Adapted from S.E. Hinton’s seminal novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film, this thrilling new musical takes you to Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, where Ponyboy Curtis, his Best Friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family of ‘outsiders’ battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. The Outsiders navigates the complexities of self-discovery as the Greasers dream about who they want to become in a world that may never accept them. With a dynamic original score, The Outsiders is a story of friendship, family, belonging…and the realization that there is still “lots of good in the world.”
