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. After his corpse went unclaimed, it became a carnival attraction, movie prop, and amusement park dummy, making McCurdy more famous in death than in life.

A rollicking folk-rock score played by an onstage band brings this wild tale to life. Take a sneak peek below, and see Dead Outlaw live at the Longacre Theatre!
