MAJESTIC THEATRE SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

PLAYWRIGHT ADAM RAPP ON BUILDING A WORLD OF EXTREMES FOR THE OUTSIDERS

STORY BY KATHY HENDERSON

The Outsiders was published in 1967, the year before Adam Rapp was born, but he vividly remembers devouring S.E. Hinton’s now-classic YA novel in his dorm room at military school. The tale of the orphaned Curtis brothers and their “Greaser” friends, narrated by 14-year-old Ponyboy, struck a nerve with Rapp, the eldest child of a working-class single mother. Almost four decades after he first encountered the novel, this prolific playwright, novelist, screenwriter and director made his Broadway debut as a musical book writer (with Justin Levine) in an exhilarating adaptation of The Outsiders

Known for his fondness for dark material and disaffected characters, Rapp is charmingly cheerful on the topic of his new show, which has been in the works for almost a decade. It helps that his first Broadway production, the 2019 drama The Sound Inside, received six Tony nominations, including Best Play, and his latest novel, Wolf at the Table, was published to glowing reviews. As for how he and his baby brother, Anthony, ended up in the top ranks of New York theatre, Rapp says simply, “I have no idea.”

You are the ultimate multi-hyphenate writer and director. How does it feel to add musical theatre book writer to the list?

It’s a shock, honestly. I was a novelist who became a playwright who fell in love with theatre and started directing plays. I had no musical theatre training and I’ve never been a performer, so when I was approached about this, I thought, “Wow, they must be confusing me with somebody else.” Then I heard two songs that [Jonathan Clay and Zach Chapman of] Jamestown Revival had written, and I thought, “How can I not involve myself with this?” The music is so beautiful, and it feels very, very honest and sincere in expressing the way teenage boys think about the world.

When did you read The Outsiders for the first time, and what did you love about it?

I read it when I was 15, and it had a profound effect on me. I come from a similar background as Ponyboy. My mother was a single mom raising three kids on a nurse’s salary. We grew up in an apartment complex in Joliet, Illinois, so I identified with the idea of what “family” means when you come from a broken home that’s lower middle class. It was my first reading experience in which I felt seen, and I think a lot of kids feel that way when they read the book.

What was your goal in turning The Outsiders into a musical? What kind of theatrical experience did you envision?

I wanted it to have almost operatic extremes. Adolescent life is so dramatic. Growing up in this country, there is so much pressure to succeed, so much pressure about sexuality, and I wanted the audience to feel that. I said to my collaborators that I wanted this world to be as brutal as it is tender, as bleak as it is beautiful; we needed to fill in all the extremes, because that’s what being 14, 15 and 16 is like.

I love the fact that you provided stage directions for the riveting rumble between the Greasers and their rival gang, the Socs.

I wrote it because I thought the rumble was one of the most successful parts of the movie. We were all on the same page that this should be a non-musical moment. It should be the sound of bodies and fists meeting flesh and boys crying out, with a soundscape to create the mood. I sat next to Matt Dillon [who played tough guy Dallas

in the 1983 film version] when he came to see the show, and he was blown away by the rumble. He told me that Francis Ford Coppola was going to delay the rumble a day or two because they were expecting rain, and Matt convinced him to go ahead and shoot it in the rain. I remember how visceral and intense it was, and I thought how cool it would be if at the end of the rumble, you can’t recognize a Greaser or a Soc because they’re all undone by the rain and the mud. [Choreographers] Rick and Jeff [Kuperman] embraced that idea and took it even further, with big moments that are abstracted toward the end, and [director] Danya [Taymor] added some surprising elements.

In agreeing to write the book, did you realize you were taking on the most challenging element in a musical?

I did not, and it could be frustrating. I control almost everything I do when I’m writing a novel or directing one of my plays or working on TV as a showrunner. In this case, I was one of five people trying to tell this story, so it was humbling. You see your scene get winnowed down and absorbed by songs; I used to joke that I started to feel like I was just the gardener. But I’ve come back around to really loving the process. I’ve been hearing this music for more than nine years, and it still makes me emotional. I feel very lucky to have my words living around these songs.

What was it like to meet S.E.

Hinton when you traveled to Tulsa with the cast?

I wasn’t anticipating how incredibly powerful that was going to be. I have a young adult novel called 33 Snowfish that made a list of the top 50 books for young adults, and what was number one? The Outsiders! So I was kind of intimidated to meet Susie. She suffers no fools, she says it like it is, she loves to have a drink and a one-on-one talk; she’s salt of the earth. I guess the word for how I felt is privileged. I can’t wait for her to see the show, especially one of the final moments that involves Ponyboy’s notebook. I’m so proud to be part of the team trying to make her novel come to life in a new way.

GOING HOME AGAIN: LINDA WOOLVERTON AND MATT WEST ON THE NEW BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TOUR

STORY BY BETH STEVENS

What does it feel like to return to the world of Beauty and the Beast? For book writer Linda Woolverton and director and choreographer Matt West, who created the original choreography for the Broadway production, it feels deeply personal.

“Going home,” West said.

“I was going to say the same thing,” added Woolverton. “It feels like going home. We’re family. We’ve been with this show for so long and it’s been a joy every time. And so to come back and reimagine it and rethink it to the degree we’re doing it is such a joy.”

More than 30 years after the animated film premiered and nearly 25 since the last Disney-produced national tour, Beauty and the Beast is hitting the road again in a bold new production. The show helped shape a generation of theatergoers, many of whom are now performing in this reimagined version.

“It feels a little surreal,” West said. “I have to pinch myself every once in a while to really think about where we all started, starting from the movie, actually creating the movie, to where we are today. It’s kind of mind-boggling.”

Both creatives approached the production with a willingness to examine every part of the production. “I wanted to look at every aspect of it,” West said. “The lighting, the design, the costume design, the scenic design and the dances. We wrote some new scenes for this production. Textures have changed. The lighting is new at your fingertips, so we’ve done it all.”

That includes big changes in choreography. “All the dances are new,” West said. “‘Be Our Guest’ is now a big tap number, which I’ve always wanted to do, so I’ve put it in. David Chase did the new dance arrangements and the tavern number is bigger. They’re all bigger. It’s bigger and brighter and bolder and better than ever.”

Woolverton, who also wrote the screenplay for the animated film, found herself returning to familiar material. “We really worked hard on making the show not feel like it was stuck in the past,” she said. “Over the 30 years we’ve been evolving. Constantly moving and changing. I’ve rewritten so many scenes so many times. Things have come in and gone out, come back in again. I was writing a new scene four weeks ago and I couldn’t believe it. It was like I’m writing the scene again.”

“And it works,” West said.

“It works,” Woolverton replied. “And it’s because they were my friends. So it was like playing with my old friends.”

At the heart of the story is Belle. “You know, Howard Ashman and I really wanted to conjure up a new kind of Disney heroine that wasn’t a princess but was a heroine who took action in the world and was a thinker and a reader,” Woolverton said. “That was really foremost on my mind when I was writing this character for the first time.”

That spirit continues to shape the way Woolverton views the show in 2025. “The story is a contemporary story,” she said. “The heroine is a contemporary girl, so it lends itself to being updated as we go along and learn new things and grow ourselves and put that into the show.”

For many of the cast members, this production represents a full-circle moment. “Many in our cast have shown me pictures of them at the Palace Theatre on Broadway when they were five and six,” said West. “And now here they are doing it with us. It’s surreal. It’s a joy and it’s the gift that keeps on giving.”

The show’s central message continues to resonate. “You know this show points out that love is love is love is love, right?” West said. “Love is love. And these two unlikely people come together and forgive and understand and grow together and end up together. It’s a good story to tell people and it’s a good process to look at.”

Woolverton added, “Really important for me is that you can come back from a mistake. He made a terrible mistake when he was young and suffered a lot, and everyone in the castle suffers for it. But you can come back through love. It’s the redemptive power of love that I think really touches people about this story.”

And of course, the music remains a centerpiece. “I think everybody relates to these characters in some way,” West said. “And the songs by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The songs are well known. You hum along with them. You walk out feeling good. And I think it’s a family show. It’s a date night show. It’s for everyone and I’m very proud of that.”

When asked who they hope will see this new production, their answer was simple.

“People from four to 104,” said West.

“Everyone can be your guest,” Woolverton added.

“Everyone,” said West.
