What happens when the world forgets you, but your body doesn’t? Dead Outlaw asks big questions in the most unexpectedly hilarious and heartbreaking way. This highly awarded show brings to life the true story of Elmer McCurdy, whose death did not stop him from becoming a major celebrity. Directed by the renowned David Cromer, Dead Outlaw is set to captivate Broadway audiences with its unique blend of dark humor and poignant storytelling. With a foot-stomping country-Americana score by Tony winner David Yazbek, this isn’t your average Broadway musical—it's a high-energy, outlaw ballad brought to life

Dead Outlaw delves into the bizarre and fascinating tale of Elmer McCurdy, a train robber who met his demise in 1911. Unclaimed by family, his embalmed body became a sideshow attraction, journeying through carnivals, wax museums, and even film sets for decades. This musical explores themes of fame, mortality, and how to stay relevant even when you’re mummified. Book your tickets for a rip-roaring, undying, riot of a show
