"Not the typical musical. Totally different setup, great storyline but performed in an unusual way so as to remain entertaining and enjoyable. The cast was incredibly talented. Based on a true story made it even more compelling. "

Fantastic show in great theatre.

Most creative musical in years!!
"I am so tired of Broadway musicals that are rehashes of movies or pop singers’ songbooks. “Dead Outlaw” was completely new and creative, witty, funny, heartbreaking, and delightful all rolled into an hour and a half of sheer fun that will leave you feeling great at the end. The performances were amazing. The music is fun and accessible and covers a variety of genres. The direction was brilliant. And the lighting was some of the best I’ve seen in years. If you’re tired of sequins and sequels, get to Dead Outlaw as fast as you can. Best musical I’ve seen since Hadestown in previews!"

The stillness of the dead Outlaw in his coffin makes impossible to look awa
"It’s as much a concert as a play. The music keeps the joint jumping while everyone except the male lead play multiple characters and each get their own solo. The story is as funny as it is surprising. "

Very funny premise, enjoyable throughout
"Acting and music were great. Story concept is a riot. First part was a little tedious but you had to lay the foundation. My only criticism is that the music was too loud in the first part of the show. Would have liked it to be slightly quieter. All in all a fun night."

A different broadway experience
"The cast was extremely talented both vocally and theatrically. The six person band who were part of the show were also very talented and gave a different slant to the Broadway experience replacing the orchestra. This is dark humor which may not be for everyone, but I thought it was great."

Some good, some bad
"I have mixed feeling about the show. I loved that it was weird and had a strange story. The singing was excellent and the actors, in their multiple roles, were funny and fascinating. But the band music was so loud it drowned out many of the vocals. The band took up lots of the stage both physically and in terms of time and energy. As I thought about it I felt that it brought its off-Broadway style to Broadway and it just didn’t completely click. "

Shouldn’t be on Broadway
"An offbeat story with unlikable characters and persistent, unmemorable rock music - it neither was enough of a curiosity nor a thematically resonant work."

Don’t waste your money
"The plot was absurd. While I get they were trying to be funny it just fell flat. Music was not very good. Cast wasn’t that great either. Not sure how this received 7 Tony nominations but I can see why they didn’t win one. Honestly sad I spent any money or time on this one. "
