About the Show

This new musical revives the timeless tale of struggle and brotherhood in 1967 Tulsa.

Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, "The Outsiders" follows Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and their chosen 'outsider' family. They face a battle for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that rejects them. This powerful new musical rejuvenates the timeless narrative of social divides, familial bonds, and the pursuit of dreams.

Adapted from S.E. Hinton’s pivotal book and Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film, it boasts a compelling book by Adam Rapp and Justin Levine, accompanied by music and lyrics from Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay & Zach Chance) and Justin Levine. Justin Levine handles music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations, while choreography is by Rick Kuperman & Jeff Kuperman, and directed by Danya Taymor.
