Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Fox Theatre, St. Louis
by Rob Levy - Jan 11, 2026
More of a drama with sung interludes than a full-blown musical, The Outsiders is an outstanding production. Relying on a minimalist stage, dark lighting, and choreography, the ensemble is given a wide berth to perform.
Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
