The Outsiders at Kennedy Center Opera House

The Outsiders Musical

When a well-known tale hits the stage, it is usually pretty clear that it is destined to follow in the footsteps of its source - and the ‘The Outsiders’, masterfully set to music by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance, and Justin Levine, and its book ingeniously crafted by Adam Rapp and Justin Levine, is no different.

The story

The story, touching on the vulnerability of teenage boys to brutality and suffering, the socio-economic struggles the working-class youth are faced with, the pangs and passions of being young, rivalry, teen angst, and, of course, romance, hit the stage like a ton of bricks in 2023, and opened at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway in 2024.

Its unique blending of music, lighting, jaw-dropping choreography, unsugarcoated story, and stellar cast exhibiting the talents of mostly debutantes, oozed with the aesthetic impact of visuals-meet-music-meet-story-meet-talent and blew audiences away - critics, fans, laypersons, and naysayers all the same. ‘The Outsiders’ racked up no less than four Tony Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, as well as a Chita Rivera Award.

Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the 1960s, ‘The Outsiders’ follows the story of Ponyboy Curtis and two rival gangs divided according to their socio-economic status..

The experience

Not only is ‘The Outsiders’ drenched with outstanding 60s-sounding show tunes tinged with folk and pop-country influences delivered in rich voices, but also boasts eye-popping fight scenes, powerful visual imagery, creative choices that can put even the most accomplished directors to shame, high-energy choreography oozing with slickness and grit, and production value that can challenge any of the Broadway greats.
