<\/p>\nThe Outsiders helped launch the careers of C. Thomas Howell, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane and Rob Lowe, who made his feature film debut in the 1983 coming-of-age drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola.<\/p>\n
Five decades later, the Austin-based roots-rock duo Jamestown Revival, with assistance from a couple of New York stage pros, adapted the cult movie and the S.E. Hinton novel it\u2019s based on into a successful Broadway musical that\u2019s still running. The show, which has been nominated for 12 Tony Awards and won four, including best musical, has landed at Fair Park Music Hall as part of a North American tour, presented by Broadway Dallas.<\/p>\n

The plot revolves around three brothers in 1965 Tulsa whose parents recently died in a car crash. The youngest, 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, is a member of the working class Greasers gang, who get into a series of violent disputes with the upper-crust Socs, short for Socialites. The twists include a stabbing, a suicide, a near drowning, children trapped in a church fire and Ponyboy\u2019s obsession with a classic novel (Gone With the Wind in the book and film versions, Great Expectations in the musical).<\/p>\n
