The Outsiders Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, the hardened hearts and aching souls of Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and their chosen family of ‘outsiders’ are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. A story of the bonds that brothers share and the hopes we all hold on to, this gripping new musical reinvigorates the timeless tale of ‘haves and have nots’, of protecting what’s yours and fighting for what could be.
Adapted from S.E. Hinton’s seminal book and Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film, THE OUTSIDERS features a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay & Zach Chance) and Justin Levine, music supervision, arrangements & orchestrations by Justin Levine, choreography by Rick Kuperman & Jeff Kuperman and directed by Danya Taymor.
What’s the show about? Set in 1967, The Outsiders follows Ponyboy Curtis, a 14-year-old "Greaser," and his tight-knit group of friends as they navigate the tensions between their working-class gang and the affluent "Socs." The story delves into the struggles of adolescence, the bonds of friendship, and the harsh realities of a divided society.
Hinton's book is widely regarded as a groundbreaking work in young adult literature. Written by Hinton when she was just 16 years old, the novel captures the raw emotions and complex lives of teenagers with a level of authenticity that was unprecedented at the time. Its exploration of class conflict, identity, and belonging resonated deeply with readers, making it an enduring classic. The Outsiders has been credited with shaping the young adult genre, giving voice to a generation of teens who saw their struggles, friendships, and triumphs reflected in its pages. Over 50 years later, the book continues to be a staple in classrooms and libraries, celebrated for its timeless themes and Hinton’s honest, heartfelt storytelling.
Since it arrived on Broadway in April 2024, The Outsiders has captivated audiences with its raw energy and poignant storytelling. The Outsiders received critical acclaim, earning multiple Tony Award nominations, and winning Best Musical and Best Direction of a Musical in 2024.
Whether you're familiar with the original novel and film or experiencing the story for the first time, The Outsiders offers a powerful and moving theatrical experience. Its blend of heartfelt music, compelling performances, and enduring themes ensures that this classic tale continues to resonate on the Broadway stage.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Outsiders
From: Wall Street Journal

8 / 10
The musical’s cast shouldn’t leave anyone pining for starshine, so assured are its members in embodying the characters not as familiar pop-culture figures but as the raw, wounded, volatile and sensitive people they are. Teller of the tale, if not leader of the pack, is Brody Grant’s Ponyboy, the youngest of three brothers whose parents died in a car accident, with the oldest, Darrel, played by a touchingly conflicted Brent Comer, unhappily taking charge, while the middle boy, Sodapop (a buoyant, sometimes shirtless Jason Schmidt, winning the beefcake prize), tries to soothe the tension between his siblings.

Luckily, the words matter less than they might have because the most outstanding aspect of this musical is the staging – by which I mean primarily the choreography. The set, design (especially the lighting by Brian MacDevitt) and special effects (rain, smoke, fire) allow for, and sometimes enhance, the movement. This encompasses not just the dancing, but the fighting, which at its most arresting, resembles not just slow-motion cinematography but stop-motion animation – performed by the human beings on stage.
