Dead Outlaw

Broadway
Musical
One Act
Original

He was wanted by the law, killed by a posse... and then his career really took off! Based on the “that can’t actually be true” story of bumbling bandit Elmer McCurdy and winner of three Best Musical awards (Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, NY Drama Critics’ Circle), the wildly inventive musical Dead Outlaw is now alive on Broadway.



SYNOPSIS:

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.
