The latest production to take the stage at Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago is a winner in every category.
"The Outsiders," with a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, is one of the best musical theater productions to hit The Windy City in awhile. The show continues to Feb.22.
The musical, which is based on the novel by S.E. Hinton as well as the popular Francis Ford Coppola film, is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967 and revolves around Ponyboy Curtis, his brothers and his group of outsider friends (Greasers) and their social clashes with the wealthier group in their hometown. It's a story revolving around the loyalty and bonds of family and friendship, the battle between social classes, trying to pursue dreams, dealing with tragedy and desperately wanting to believe there's still a lot of good in the world.
