Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Des Moines Performing Arts

On February 27, 2026, I made the drive from Minneapolis down to the Des Moines Performing Arts Civic Center to catch the national tour of The Outsiders. I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about the show, and since it hasn’t made its way up to Minnesota yet, I figured it was worth the road trip to see it early. Turns out, it absolutely was.

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Des Moines Performing Arts

Watching Tony's every year, I always look forward to the performances and seeing what each show decides to showcase. In 2024, I was captivated by the performance of 'The Outsiders' and looked forward to seeing it live. What was that moment? I'll share more on that later, but after seeing the show in New York last spring, I am thrilled that Des Moines audiences will have the opportunity to see 'The Outsiders' through Sunday as part of the Willis Broadway Series at Des Moines Performing Arts.

Review: A Literary Work Becomes a Phenomenon With THE OUTSIDERS: A NEW MUSICAL at the Straz Center

The year, 1967, the place, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and its central narrative came from the scrawlings of a 16-year-old named Susan Eloise Hinton, and the rest as we know it is solidified into literary history. History so much, that it has sparked a re-birth with a new generation and with the new stage adaptation of Hinton’s subliminal novel, a pandemonium and cultural phenomenon was created.

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON al Teatro Arcimboldi Milano

Per la prima volta arriva in Italia uno dei musical di maggior successo di sempre, vincitore di nove Tony Awards e ininterrottamente in scena a Broadway dal 2011: The Book of Mormon è un musical dissacrante e irriverente, scritto da Trey Parker, Matt Stone (i creatori di South Park) e Robert Lopez (co-autore di Frozen e Avenue Q). Oltre al suo trionfale successo americano, lo spettacolo è in cartellone nel West End londinese dal 2013, dove continua a registrare il tutto esaurito.

Based on S. E. Hinton’s 1967 novel of the same name as well as Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film adaptation. The Outsiders is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s. The story follows Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade, and their Greaser family of ‘outsiders’ as they battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. Together, the Greasers fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that doesn't accept them.
