The Outsiders at Orpheum Theatre

The Outsiders - A Must-See Musical

S.E. Hinton’s iconic novel ‘The Outsiders’ was a literary staple in every single middle and high school English class|has been one of those books everybody need to read at least once in their lives since it was first released}, and even though some eyebrows were raised at the no holds barred content dealing with the emotional rollercoasters of youth, we were all moved by the relevance of the tale of Tonyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Sodapop Curtis, Cherry Valance and the others.

The success of the novel, however, left some massive shoes to fill, and the question is whether that is even remotely possible.

And the answer - absolutely! Since its premiere in 2023 at the La Jolla Playhouse and moving to Broadway’s Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ took a firm hold of every audience member, making them fall in love with the beloved story all over again. The wonderful union of story, sound, lights, and movement, topped by music that is quickly becoming the new song for misfits, guaranteed to walk boldly in the footsteps of the literary legacy.

Add some Americana-imbued show tunes such as ’Throwing in the Towel’, ’Hoods Turned Heroes’, ‘Justice for Tulsa’, and ‘I Could Talk to You All Night’, delivered in the breathtaking voices of a stellar cast peppered with debuts, a generous serving of powerful visual vignettes, high-octane choreography, a gritty, yet stunning warehouse-like set, and a fiery, visceral approach to the violence, and top it with creative choices that has never been seen before, and you have a fresh new musical that is destined to become one of Broadway’s favorites.

‘The Outsiders’ has it all and more: the thrill of both newness and familiarity boiling over into a magnificent theatrical production, the struggles of have-nots that are trying to create rather than destroy in a world with everything against them, questions about the susceptibility of teenage boys to violence and harm, the difficulties of being an outsider, and the struggles of being born into violence, the continuous movement between heart-wrenching and heart-warming and the realization that every single award on ‘The Outsiders’ award shelf was well deserved - including four Tony Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, and a Chita Rivera Award.

There is no doubt: ‘The Outsiders’ is busy making its small town dreams come true - to become the biggest dream of many!
