The Outsiders, A New Musical

[Cooper]

If you enjoyed the book and movie, you are going to love this show. 

The setting is 1967 Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 2 rival groups are the Greasers and the Socs. They are constantly fighting which leads to one of the best choreographed fight numbers Broadway has seen. 

It’s a young and attractive cast… Making his Broadway debut is Brody Grant playing Ponyboy. He's on stage the entire performance. He’s extremely talented not only in acting but singing and dancing. He really connected with the audience as you could hear a lot of sniffles during the 2nd Act. 

The role of Johnny is played by Sky Lakota Lynch. He’s performed Off-Broadway. He does an excellent job in this role. Great voice & energy. 

It’s an easy show to follow. The songs tell the story and sides between the Greasers & Socs are well distinguish. There was some blind-casting but it made no difference.

I’ll be interested to find out on 4/30 how many Tony nominations this show receives. 

I highly recommend seeing it. Right now it’s an easy ticket to get but come 4/30 it might not be.

I’d love to see that show. I’ve read the book and watched Coppola’s movie countless times.
