The Outsiders officially began its North American tour after the red carpet ceremony, and continues at Tulsa PAC through Oct. 12.
“Our rehearsal stops and other stuff have been leading to this moment," The Outsiders cast member Corbin Drew Ross told 2 News. "I think all of us have been working to really make this one special, to continue on and to keep the energy of what we can build in Tulsa today."
“I think so much of the idea to even launch the tour was bringing this story home to Tulsa," fellow cast member Travis Roy Rogers said. "So it's definitely a great responsibility, but also a thrill for us to bring this story home."
