Stay gold. Tony Award nominee Brody Grant, who currently stars in The Outsiders on Broadway, will play his final performance in the show at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on September 21.

Grant makes his Broadway debut originating the lead role of Ponyboy, which he has played since The Outsiders opened on Broadway in spring 2024. He earned a Tony nomination for his performance, and the show went on to win Best Musical among other awards.

Replacement casting for the role of Ponyboy has yet to be announced. The current Outsiders Broadway cast also includes Sky Lakota-Lynch as Johnny, Brent Comer as Darrel, Jason Schmidt as Sodapop, Alex Joseph Grayson as Dallas Winston, Emma Pittman as Cherry Valance, Daryl Tofa as Two-Bit Matthews, Kevin William Paul as Bob Sheldon, and Dan Berry as Paul Holden.

Adapted from S. E. Hinton's novel, The Outsiders centers on Ponyboy, a member of the poor teenage gang the Greasers, and his and his friends' daily struggle for survival and brotherhood in a world that's all but abandoned them. The show is directed by Tony winner Danya Taymor and features an adapted script by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine and songs by the folk duo Jamestown Revival and Levine.
