The Outsiders at Durham Performing Arts Center

The Outsiders Musical

To adapt a popular tale for musical theatre is one thing, but to redesign it so that it is destined to become as iconic as its source, is a whole different ball game - a ball game Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance, Justin Levine, and Adam Rapp are particularly phenomenal at and achieved great success with.

The story

‘The Outsiders’, a powerful tale peppered with riveting drama about relationships between friends and loved ones, devotion, growing up, the struggles of youth, romance, and, of course, socio-economic difficulty, first premiered in 2023 to massive acclaim, and went on, hitting Broadway like a tsunami of creative genius, leaving behind a trail of nothing but acclaim.

Its intricate amalgamation of sound, special effects, movement, unsugarcoated story, and stellar cast mostly comprising debutantes, oozed with the aesthetic impact of visuals-meet-music-meet-story-meet-talent and blew audiences away - critics, fans, laypersons, and naysayers all the same. ‘The Outsiders’ landed four Tony Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, as well as a Chita Rivera Award.

If you’re a fan, you’ll remember Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and the lot, the violence between the two rival gangs and the struggles of the working-class against the upper-middle-class in 1960s Tulsa. If not, you’ll meet them soon enough, and you’ll adore them.

The experience

Not only is ‘The Outsiders’ doused with phenomenal 60s-sounding show tunes tinged with folk and pop-country influences delivered with great musical prowess, but also boasts incredible fight scenes, powerful visual vignettes, creative choices that will blow your mind, choreography that will make you wonder whether ‘ballet of violence’ is a thing, and production value that rises like cream to the top.
