I am fielding thoughts on The Outsiders. It is coming in tour, and I am debating if I want to go. I have seen so many bad and middling shows the last few years that I am getting gun shy when I see red flags.
Although I loved the novel and the "Complete Novel" version of the movie, I have listened to some of the songs from the score and find them serviceable. The first song, for example, is just artless exposition. I am also turned off by making major changes to the novel. I have seen enough dud Tony winners, I am feeling like this one might be a pass. Would I be missing anything? Should I go?
