“This revelatory new work is sure to be talked about for generations to come.”
“As I said, this production of THE OUTSIDERS at Shea's is a benchmark musical we’ll be talking about for years.”
“When Ponyboy expresses in song what he’ll bring to being a future writer (“And in his memory, I’ll stay gold”) it also speaks for the creative team and performers, as this production is pure theatrical gold.”
