BASED ON A “THAT CAN’T ACTUALLY BE TRUE” STORY,

DEAD OUTLAW is the wildly inventive musical about the outlaw-turned-corpse-turned-celebrity Elmer McCurdy. The most award-winning musical of 2024, it's “a wild and crazy ride you have to see to believe” (The Wrap) and “among the most striking and original shows in New York” (The Washington Post).

“BEST OF
THE YEAR. A raucous, rip-roaring
new musical!”
