The Outsiders at Durham Performing Arts Center

The Outsiders Musical

To adapt a popular tale for musical theatre is one thing, but to recreate it to the extent that it is destined to become as legendary 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’, an impactful tale peppered with epic drama about family, devotion, coming of age, the struggles of youth, romance, and, of course, socio-economic difficulty, first premiered in 2023 with praise from all directions, and went on, hitting Broadway like a fierce storm of creative genius, flattening everything and everybody in its wake.

Its unique blending of sound, lighting, jaw-dropping choreography, boundless story, and incredible cast exhibiting the talents of mostly debutantes, oozed with the thrill of newness and blew audiences from all walks of life away. ‘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.

Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the 1960s, ‘The Outsiders’ follows the story of Ponyboy Curtis and two rival gangs divided according to their socio-economic status..

The experience

Not only is ‘The Outsiders’ drenched with terrific 60s-sounding show tunes tinged with folk and pop-country influences masterfully created by Jonathan Clay, Justin Levine, and Jamestown Revival’s Zach Chance, but also boasts incredible fight scenes, visually stirring, creative choices that you’ve never seen before, a wonderfully designed gritty warehouse-like set, and an off-the chart production value.
