The Tony Award-winning Best Musical The Outsiders, adapted from S.E. Hinton’s seminal novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film, has recouped its $22 million capitalization cost.

The Broadway production recouped as of the week ending December 28, 2025.

“We’re thrilled by how audiences have embraced and supported The Outsiders,” said producers Matthew Rego, Michael Rego and Hank Unger of The Araca Group in a joint statement. “It’s been a true honor to bring Susie Hinton’s beloved book to life on stage for those who are new to this story and those who have cherished it for almost 60 years. We’re forever grateful to the extraordinary creative team, cast, crew, and everyone at the Jacobs Theatre who have poured their hearts into The Outsiders. We look forward to seeing it continue to impact current and future generations of theatergoers for many years to come.”

The Outsiders opened on Broadway on April 11, 2024, at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre following a world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in March 2023. It has now played 746 performances to date to over 770,000 audience members from all 50 states and over 75 countries. The production has broken its own house record ten times over its run and is the first show in the history of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre to surpass a gross of $2 million in a single week.

The production won four 2024 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical (Danya Taymor), Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Hana S. Kim and Brian MacDevitt), and Best Sound Design of a Musical (Cody Spencer). The North American tour officially opened in October 2025 at Tulsa Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the home and setting of The Outsiders. The tour is now playing across the U.S. and Canada.

Future productions are planned for London’s West End, Asia, and Australia with timing and details to be announced later.
