Who\u2019d have thunk S.E. Hinton\u2019s classic coming-of-age novel and Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s cult-classic 1983 film adaptation would spawn a musical that\u2019s racked up four Tony Awards and a dozen nominations? <\/p>\n

Apparently, The Outsiders\u2019 timeless and sometimes brutal story of self-discovery has the enduring power to \u201cstay gold,\u201d as Johnny Cade tells Ponyboy in the original novel. The musical version will make its San Antonio debut next week, running Tuesday, Oct. 28 through Sunday, Nov. 2, at the Majestic Theatre. <\/p>\n

Set in 1967 Tulsa, Oklahoma, the story unfolds around a group of working-class outsiders known as the Greasers as they do battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. <\/p>\n

Thanks to a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, this Broadway adaptation plays on the same thrills and drama that have drawn generations to The Outsiders while adding memorable and compelling songs by folk duo Jamestown Revival and Justin Levine. <\/p>\n

$52.65-$222.00, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, Oct. 28-31, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com. \u00a0<\/p>\n
