The Outsiders, presented by Zions Bank & Broadway at the Eccles

The Outsiders opens at Delta Hall at the Eccles Theater on Tuesday, November 10, and runs through Sunday, November 15. It's presented by Zions Bank & Broadway at the Eccles, and it's the Tony Award-winning musical adapted from S.E. Hinton's novel and Francis Ford Coppola's film.

Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1967, the story follows Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade, and their Greaser family of 'outsiders' as they battle their affluent rivals, the Socs. It's a story about class and friendship that most of us know from the book or the movie, now on a stage. The production won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Musical, and the creative team behind it is a full house: a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance), choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman, and direction by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor. Entertainment Weekly described it as a show 'that has the power to inspire an entire generation.'

Logistically, it's a long one: two hours and 30 minutes with one intermission. It's recommended for ages 10 and up, and children under 5 aren't permitted. If you need an accessible performance, there are a few specific dates to keep in mind: ASL interpretation is on Thursday, November 12; audio description is on Friday, November 13; and captioning is on Saturday, November 14. With the run going from Tuesday through Sunday, you've got a few different nights to choose from.
