The Outsiders (2024)

Adam Rapp, Justin Levine, and the folk duo Jamestown Revival’s 'The Outsiders' arrived at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in 2024, standing as an absolute commercial blockbuster and sweeping four major Tony Awards including Best Musical. Based on S.E. Hinton’s seminal 1967 literature novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematic adaptation, the gritty, rock-and-folk-infused musical drama unfolds inside Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967, tracking Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade as they navigate a brutal class warfare and search for self-discovery against their affluent rivals, the Socs. Directed with visceral, fluid intensity by Danya Taymor with hyper-athletic fight choreography by Rick and Jeff Kuperman, it starred Brody Grant.
