The Outsiders at Des Moines Civic Center

Synopsis

We all remember the S.E. Hinton’s trailblazing novel that formed part of every English class.

We fell in love with Ponyboy Curtis, we felt the trials and tribulations of life on bone-level, and even identified with some of the scuffles Ponyboy, Johnny Cade, Dally Winston, Darry Curtis, and the others came face to face with. We dreamt about a better life with them, we walked the road of violence, addiction, depression, and socio-economic struggles beside them. We felt the story hit home on many levels.

Add a bit of that Americana sound to the nostalgic classic, stir it with a phenomenal cast, pepper it with a courageous, gut-punching take, and top it with a generous dose of stunning choreography and a unique amalgamation of sound, lights, and movement, and you have a musical production that is destined to rise to the top like cream, bringing home no less than four Tony Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, and a Chita Rivera Award.

What to expect

Featuring a breathtaking score with soon-to-be iconic tracks such as ’Great Expectations’, ’I Could Talk To You All Night’, and ’Hopeless War’, an incredibly talented cast peppered with debuts, an illustrious production team, and choreography that defies everything you thought you knew about dancing, ‘The Outsiders’ is destined to become a classic.

It has that exhilarating feeling of something new - literally a fresh song for the nonconformists.

With potent imagery that will stay in each and every audience’s mind for a long time, a whole lot of slick moves, and the sweeping sense of the vulnerability of teenage boys to violence, ‘The Outsiders’ is a must-see for young and old - an outsider stepping into the inner-circle of top Broadway productions, a musical experience that will make you fall in love with the cutting-edge tale over and over again!
