Christopher Ashley talked about the world premiere of ‘The Outsiders’ and how people can attend. The Outsiders La Jolla Playhouse’s World-Premiere Musical Running now through April 9 Tickets/Info: www.LaJollaPlayhouse.org The story that defined a generation has been reimagined as a groundbreaking musical. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, the hardened hearts and aching souls of Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and their chosen family of ‘outsiders’ are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. A story of the bonds that brothers share and the hopes we all hold on to, this gripping new musical reinvigorates the timeless tale of ‘haves and have-nots’, of protecting what’s yours and fighting for what could be.
