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 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 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 ’The Outsiders’ much anticipated premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse and making its Broadway debut in 2024, ‘The Outsiders’ had its hands 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 powerful, unparalleled imagery that will linger in any audience member’s mind for a long time afterwards.

‘The Outsiders’ has it all and more: the excitement of both novelty and familiarity oozing into a superb theatrical production, 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 fragility of life and love, and the struggles of having a lot of heart and remaining truthful in an unkind world, that moment you grasp that you’re actually witnessing one of the world’s best, latest productions 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.
