So happy and excited, it's finally arriving on Broadway: www.broadwayworld.com/article/New-Musical-THE-OUTSIDERS-To-Open-On-Broadway-This-March-20230821The original novel and the famous Coppola movie version are two of my all-time favourites and unlike so many other things I always thought that The Outsiders would be a good idea for a stage adaptation. While I didn't get to see the La Jolla tryout live, I really enjoyed the music and the video clips I saw of it, including the very impressive rain they arranged for the final rumble. Can't wait to see it live on stage next year!

I thought this one was great! Really good music throughout, and some very impressive visuals - the scene mentioned above with the rain - hugely impressive. I'd not read the book or seen the film so the story was also a nice surprise. Brody Grant was absolutely wonderful as Ponyboy Curtis, and a very strong supporting cast. I think this show could do very well and settle in for a decent run.

Interesting, my least favourite of my NYC trip, it felt like a lacksure ‘West Side Story’, I didn’t find the score very memorable and the characters motivations didn’t make much sense. Don’t get me wrong, the cast are great and it’s a good set and there is some good songs there (‘Stay Gold’) but it didn’t move me or make me feel any compassion to the characters, my two stand-outs were ‘Lempicka’ & ‘The Notebook’, oh and ‘Sweeney Todd’ had to rewatch to see Tevit & Foster in the show!
