"The Outsiders": A Broadway Musical Review

"The Outsiders" makes a strong entry into Broadway's singer-songwriter wave with a new musical form featuring a score and lyrics by Zach Chance, Jonathan Clay, and Justin Levine. The adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel, set in 1967 Tulsa, captures the pangs and passions of being young and poor, with a focus on the Greasers gang. The musical's staging, performances, and choreography create an exhilarating movement world, while the characters' yearning for something more is portrayed with tenderness and depth.
