The Outsiders at Ohio Theatre

The Outsiders - The Musical

S.E. Hinton’s retro classic ‘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 groundbreaking content touching on aggression, addiction, depression, and socio-economic hardships, we were instantly captivated by the timeless tale of Tonyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Sodapop Curtis, Cherry Valance and the others.

The question is, however, will the musical be able to fill the shoes of the iconic novel?

And the answer - absolutely! Since its premiere in 2023 at the La Jolla Playhouse and making its Broadway debut in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ had a firm grip on the hearts of every single audience member, making them fall in love with the adored story all over again. The creative mixture of story, sound, lights, and movement results in a visually stirring experience that will linger in any audience member’s mind for a long time afterwards.

Add a 60s-sounding score tinged with folk influences and a dash of pop-country masterfully crafted by Jamestown Revival’s Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance alongside Justin Levine, delivered in the breathtaking voices of a stellar cast peppered with debuts, a generous serving of striking and stunning imagery, high-octane choreography, a gritty, yet stunning warehouse-like set, and a fiery, visceral spin on the violence, and top it with theatricality that flexes every single muscle and pops every vein, and you have a production that is destined to become one of Broadway’s favorites.

‘The Outsiders’ has it all and more: enough of both novelty and familiarity for that x-factor you won’t easily find, the emotional rollercoaster of being young and the hardships of have-nots in a world of have-its, questions about the vulnerability of teenage boys to violence and harm, the difficulties of being an outsider, and the struggles of having a lot of heart and remaining truthful in an unkind world, the wow-effect of everything you’d want in a production done perfectly and the realization that every single award that ‘The Outsiders’ received 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.

It’s undeniable: ‘The Outsiders’ is an outsider stepping into the inner-circle of top Broadway productions.
