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. "

Incredible Show
"I read the book about 40 years ago and saw the movie later. This show took me right back to my memories of this fantastic plot. Absolutely great singing. Fantastic and charismatic actors. The battle in the rain was incredible. Laughs, chills an (expected) tears at the end. All gold!"

Matched the title of the book it was representing
"The topic is intense, and it reflects the book quite well. While we saw three understudy’s including the main character, which was disappointing, however the acting was superb. Congrats to the cast and crew for putting on an amazing show!"

Stay gold!
"Saw the show with my 14-year old daughter who had recently read the book. She absolutely loved it! She said it might surpass Hamilton in terms of being her favorite show. I really enjoyed it. I typically go for “lighter” shows and this was a little heavier but it was fantastic! "

Unexpected pleasure
"I did not know the story. I asked my 14 year old granddaughter choose and what a good evening it was! Music good. Two different groups and their conflict was well presented and a thought provoking experience. A touch of humor as well as sadness "

New show showcases amazing new Broadway talent
"From the set to the vocal talent, The Outsiders kept my on the edge of my seat the entire time. To have a singular stage where moving the props created the backdrop for new scenes, this was creation at its finest! The vocal talent was incredible and each actor brought depth and reality to each character. Definitely one of the best shows I have attended!"

Don’t Miss This
"What a compelling story. The cast is stellar and so deserving of those Tony nominations. The story appeals to young adults because they are living the pain and to seniors, because we lived it. I’m ready to see it again."

Front row seats are a must!!
"There was nothing we didn't like. I wasn't sure about having front row seats, but all I can say is "wow"! We felt as though we were part of the action. We've already booked tockets to come back (again in the front row) and we can't wait!!"

About The Outsiders

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.
