The Outsiders

About this experience

The Outsiders on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre Book The Outsiders Broadway tickets to see S.E. Hinton's coming-of-age story staged as a Tony Award-winning musical at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, 242 West 45th Street, a block from Times Square. The show won four Tony Awards in 2024, including Best Musical, plus two Drama Desk Awards. It is adapted from Hinton's novel and Francis Ford Coppola's film, with a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance) and Justin Levine, choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman, and direction by Tony winner Danya Taymor. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1967, Ponyboy Curtis, his closest friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family clash with the wealthier Socs. The musical follows friendship, family and the wish to become someone the world might finally accept. The New York Post called it the best new musical of the season. The running time is 2 hours and 25 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. What to expect at The Outsiders Expect a contemporary Broadway musical with an original score rather than a jukebox catalogue, and a story that moves from quiet tenderness to street violence. The production uses flashing lights, loud noise, theatrical haze and smoking on stage, and it includes scenes involving suicide, domestic abuse and violence. It is generally recommended for ages 10 and up; children under 4 are not permitted in the theatre. Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Latecomers are seated at the management's discretion, and you may have to wait for a suitable break in the action. Bring your mobile tickets and sit in your assigned seats. No outside food or drink is allowed unless it is medically necessary, and cameras or recording devices are not permitted during the performance except when they are used for accessibility services.
