About The Outsiders on Broadway

Broadway is staying gold with The Outsiders, winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Best Musical! Get The Outsiders tickets on New York Theatre Guide, and experience the musical adaptation of the groundbreaking novel by S. E. Hinton and film by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Best Actor Tony nominee Brody Grant.

Tulsa, Oklahoma. Two teenage gangs sustain a rivalry: the well-to-do "Socs" (short for "socials") and the ne'er-do-well "greasers." The greasers, including the iconic characters of Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, have an often rocky brotherhood, but in a society that's all but abandoned them, it's all they have. The Outsiders musical tells a timeless coming-of-age story about finding hope and connection in a rough world.

Hinton published her novel in 1967, the same year the show is set and three years after she started writing the novel while still in high school herself. The Outsiders book and its subsequent 1983 film adaptation remain groundbreaking for their naturalistic, unsanitized portrayals of how teenagers talk and act and what happens when they're neglected. The film also launched the careers of then-new actors like Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, and Matt Dillon.

The Outsiders Broadway musical features original songs by Justin Levine and the folk duo Jamestown Revival, composed of Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance. The book is by Tony-nominated playwright Adam Rapp, known for The Sound Inside, and Levine.

Emotional, Exquisite, Banal

See it if into an American classic beautifully repackaged; great performances, gorgeous voices, an already-iconic dance sequence.

Don’t see it if well... the story is simple and painfully familiar, and the songs low-key. But as a reintroduction of a legendary work, this is excellent.

Riveting, Great staging, Great direction, Must see, Phenomenal

See it if you love musicals w/ original music, outstanding staging & direction. Great voices & choreography. Some scenes will take your breath away.

Don’t see it if you can't overlook a predictable storyline and some corny moments. No well known celebs and the music is not pop - it has a bluegrass feel.
