Brody Grant, a 2024 Tony nominee for his performance as Ponyboy Curtis in The Outsiders, has set a final performance in the Best Musical Tony winner for September 21. A successor in the role is to be announced.
The performance, which earned the actor a Theatre World Award plus nominations for Grammy, Drama Desk, and Drama League Awards in addition to his Tony nod, served as Grant's Broadway debut. Prior to the Broadway bow, Grant developed the role in workshops and starred in the musical's 2023 pre-Broadway tryout at La Jolla Playhouse.
Currently running at the Jacobs Theatre, where the musical opened April 11, 2024, The Outsiders is adapted from S.E. Hinton's novel and Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation. Set in 1967 Tulsa, Oklahoma, the musical follows Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and their chosen family of "outsiders," who are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. The musical features a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine and music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival and Levine.
The Outsiders won the Best Musical Tony Award as well as Best Direction of a Musical (Danya Taymor), Lighting Design (Brian MacDevitt and Hana S. Kim), and Sound Design (Cody Spencer) at the 2024 Tony Awards.
The current cast includes Grant as Ponyboy, Alex Joseph Grayson as Dallas Winston, Brent Comer as Darrel, Jason Schmidt as Sodapop, Sky Lakota-Lynch (Dear Evan Hansen) as Johnny, Emma Pittman (Chicago) as Cherry Valance, Daryl Tofa (Back to the Future) as Two-Bit Mathews, Kevin William Paul as Bob Sheldon, and Dan Berry as Paul.
The production features music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations by Levine; choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman; scenography by AMP featuring Tatiana Kahvegian; costume design by Sarafina Bush; Tony-winning lighting design by Brian MacDevitt and Hana S. Kim; Tony-winning sound design by Cody Spencer; and music direction by Matt Hinkley. Casting is by The TRC Company's Xavier Rubiano.
