The Outsiders at Cadillac Palace Theatre

The Outsiders - A Must-See Musical

S.E. Hinton’s retro classic ‘The Outsiders’ has been one of those have-to reads since it first hit the shelves in 1967|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 cutting-edge content flexing both muscle and tenderness at the same time, 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 is a resounding yes! Since ’The Outsiders’ much anticipated premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse and making its Broadway debut in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ took a firm hold of every audience member, winning them over once more. 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 some Americana-imbued show tunes 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 newcomers, a generous serving of captivating visual imagery, choreography that will make you wonder whether ballet of violence is a thing, a gritty, yet effective warehouse-like set, and a spirited, visceral spin on the violence, and top it with theatricality that flexes every single muscle and pops every vein, and you have a fresh new musical that is on track to become one of Broadway’s most significant productions.

‘The Outsiders’ ticks all the boxes and then some: enough of both newness and familiarity for that x-factor you won’t easily find, the struggles of have-nots that are trying to make their small town dreams come true in a world where it seems nearly impossible, questions about the exposure 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, those edge-of-your-seat moments 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 an outsider stepping into the inner-circle of top Broadway productions.
