His End was Just The Beginning.

DEAD OUTLAW is the darkly hilarious and wildly inventive musical about the bizarre true story of outlaw-turned-corpse-turned-celebrity Elmer McCurdy. As Elmer’s body finds even more outlandish adventures in death than it could have ever hoped for in life, the show explores fame, failure, and the meaning—or, utter meaninglessness—of legacy. Dying is no reason to stop living life to its fullest.

The most award-winning musical of 2024, DEAD OUTLAW, directed by David Cromer, comes to life on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on April 12, 2025.

“A wild and
crazy ride— you have to see it to believe it!”
