The Outsiders

Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:

The Outsiders does an exceptional job of adapting S.E. Hinton's classic novel for the Broadway stage. Preserving the original's spirit while also breathing new life into the story through the transformative power of musical theatre is a delicate balance to strike. The show does this brilliantly. The essence of Hinton's narrative - the struggle for acceptance, the stark class divisions, the bonds of brotherhood, and the raw, youthful emotion - remains firmly intact. Incorporating songs brings an extra layer to the narrative, allowing a deeper connection with the characters' feelings.

Under Danya Taymor's direction, this beloved story takes on a fresh and exciting form. Under her direction, the cast, led by Brody Grant and Sky Lakota-Lynch in the roles of Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, brings a raw and authentic energy to the stage. Every character is unique, with the actors adding a personal spin to the story while still honoring Hinton's original concept. The bond between the actors, especially those playing the Greasers, is quite strong, with the boys becoming close off stage as life imitates art. 

As a result, The Outsiders is more than just a musical adaptation of a beloved novel and film. The show pays respect to the timeless tale of the struggles of growing up and the relentless pursuit of finding who you are. Whether you're a fan of the book, the film, or just a lover of compelling theatre, The Outsiders is a must-see.
