Welcome to the Wild West! Here's your first look at Dead Outlaw on Broadway, an award-winning musical telling a larger-than-life-and-death true story.
Winner of four Best Musical prizes upon its 2024 Off-Broadway premiere, Dead Outlaw tells the story of Elmer McCurdy, a Wild West train robber who died young in a shootout.
