Dead Outlaw

Show Page - English

Dead Outlaw is the darkly hilarious and wildly inventive musical about the bizarre true story of outlaw-turned-corpse-turned-celebrity Elmer McCurdy. As Elmer’s body finds even more outlandish adventures in death than it could have ever hoped for in life, the show explores fame, failure, and the meaning – or, utter meaninglessness – of legacy. Dying is no reason to stop living life to its fullest.

The New York Times and New York Magazine list Dead Outlaw among “The Best Theater of 2024,” with the former raving, “Brilliant and gorgeous!” and the latter calling it, “A raucous, rip-roaring, bourbon-and-arsenic-tinged musical!” Winner of four Best Musical Awards, including the Drama Desk, New York Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics Circle, and Off Broadway Alliance Awards, Dead Outlaw is “as much fun as any respectable grownup is likely to have in public” (New York Sun). The Wrap calls it, “An instant classic! You have to see it to believe it.”
