Dead Outlaw

Dead Outlaw at Longacre Theater

A Story Stranger Than Fiction

Why see Dead Outlaw?

The Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up

Dead Outlaw is Audible Theater's latest production, a world-premiere musical that brings together the acclaimed team behind The Band's Visit. Created by David Yazbek, Erik Della Penna, Itamar Moses, and David Cromer; this musical dramatizes the true story of Elmer McCurdy, a 20th-century outlaw whose life took a remarkable turn after his death.

What Is Dead Outlaw about?

How did the body of an Old West train robber from Oklahoma wind up hanging in a Southern California amusement park ride in 1976? Dead Outlaw tells the story of Elmer McCurdy's bizarre and incredible journey, a man who lived a life filled with twice as many escapades after his death. This is a must-see production about a legend that demands to be told.
