| NOMINATED FOR 12 TONY AWARDS® INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL THE OUTSIDERS ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OPENING FALL 2025 IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA (MAY 29, 2024) – Producers The Araca Group, American Zoetrope, Olympus Theatricals, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky and Angelina Jolie announced today that the Tony®-nominated Best Musical The Outsiders, the new musical based on the seminal novel by S.E. Hinton and Francis Ford Coppola’s landmark motion picture, will officially open a North American Tour in Fall 2025 at Tulsa Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma following tech, launch and previews at West Herr Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, New York. "We could not imagine anywhere else to begin this next leg of The Outsiders journey than where it all began in Tulsa," said producer Matthew Rego of The Araca Group. "S.E. Hinton’s novel has inspired generations and we’re thrilled for a new generation to experience the iconic story as we take The Outsiders across America." Additional tour cities, dates, and casting for the North American Tour will be announced at a later date. Now nominated for 12 Tony Awards including Best Musical, The Outsiders features a book by Tony Award nominee Adam Rapp with Tony Award winner Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Tony Award nominees Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay & Zach Chance) and Justin Levine, music supervision, orchestration & arrangements by Justin Levine, choreography by Tony Award nominees Rick Kuperman & Jeff Kuperman and is directed by Tony Award nominee Danya Taymor. The Outsiders opened on Broadway last month to rave reviews and is now playing at the Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street). The New York Post proclaims The Outsiders as "THE BEST NEW MUSICAL OF THE SEASON." "STUNNING THINGS ARE HAPPENING ON THE STAGE OF THE JACOBS THEATER. Refreshing. Gritty. Endlessly effective. The Outsiders has been made with so much love and sincerity. It is fair to call it golden," says The New York Times. Entertainment Weekly says, "The Outsiders has a heart of gold and THE POWER TO INSPIRE AN ENTIRE GENERATION." "AN EXHILARATING WORLD OF MOVEMENT WITH HIGH-OCTANE CHOREOGRAPHY," states New York Magazine. Time Out New York calls it "RAW AND MORE PULSE-POUNDING than anything else on Broadway right now." In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family of "outsiders" battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. This thrilling new Broadway musical navigates the complexities of self-discovery as the Greasers dream about who they want to become in a world that may never accept them. With a dynamic original score, The Outsiders is a story of friendship, family, belonging... and the realization that there is still "lots of good in the world."
