Review: THE OUTSIDERS First National Tour Presented by Broadway in Chicago
7 / 10
THE OUTSIDERS is a beautiful homage to boyhood and friendship. Of course, the show has a clear focus on Greaser friendships on the whole. But I think this touring cast particularly nails the brotherly love — and friction — between Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darryl. Rogers has a rich singing voice, and he captures Darryl’s deep frustration nicely. Ross has engaging comedic timing as Sodapop — he brings a nice sprightlyness to the character. And when he sings “Soda’s Letter” in the second act, he also shows off his a buttery voice.
