NYC Broadway Musical
Dead Outlaw
The crowd-pleasing, award-winning Best Musical of 2024 steams onto Broadway. Yee haw!
About Dead Outlaw
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.
