The winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical is The Outsiders. This classic coming-of-age story takes you to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967, where Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade, and their family of Greaser “outsiders” dream about who they want to become in a world that will never accept them. The Outsiders features a “tuneful and soul-bearing” (New York Stage Review) original score, “high-octane choreography” (New York Magazine), and a “sensational young cast” (The Wall Street Journal) that brings the show to life.
There is a rain effect on stage. Drops of water and small rubber pieces from the stage floor may land in or near the first two rows of the Orchestra section (rows A and B).

Exceeded my expectations!
"I don't know how the cast kept up but the pace was perfect! The music was flawless and the dance seemed effortless. We loved the fight scene and the emotional moments brought me to tears.
Was there an Easter Egg with the young man (Trevor Wayne) who played Pony Boy's reference to Burt Lancaster's character of Elmer Gantry's and the actor's bio? Amazing coincidence or clever wink? Either way, if this was his Broadway debut, he met the Great Expectations of this audience member. "
