New York, NY (January 21, 2025) – Producers Lia Vollack Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions announced today the cast and creative team for the highly anticipated Broadway run of Dead Outlaw, the most critically acclaimed new musical of 2024. Written by Itamar Moses, featuring music and lyrics from David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna, and directed by David Cromer, Dead Outlaw will open on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre (220 W 48th St) on April 27, 2025.

The cast, reprising their highly lauded roles, will include Andrew Durand as Elmer McCurdy, Jeb Brown as Band Leader/Jarrett, Eddie Cooper as Coroner Johnson, Dashiell Eaves as Louis/Charles Patterson, Julia Knitel as Helen/Maggie, Ken Marks as George, Trent Saunders as Andy Payne, Thom Sesma as Coroner Noguchi, with Emily Fink and Max Sangerman as understudies.

Tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at 10:00am ET and will be available at Telecharge.com. Fans can register for first access to pre-sale tickets at deadoutlawmusical.com.

Originally produced Off-Broadway by Audible Theater, Dead Outlaw dominated the 2024 awards season, taking home the prize for ‘Best Musical’ at the Drama Desk Awards, New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards, Outer Critics Circle Awards, and Off-Broadway Alliance Awards.

The creative team for Dead Outlaw includes Ani Taj (choreography), Arnulfo Maldonado (scenic design), Sarah Laux (costume design), Heather Gilbert (lighting design), Kai Harada (sound design), Dean Sharenow (music supervision), Rebekah Bruce (music direction), and David Yazbek, Erik Della Penna, and Dean Sharenow (orchestrations). Casting is by Tara Rubin Casting/Peter Van Dam, CSA. Cynthia Cahill will serve as Production Stage Manager.

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.

The New York Times and New York Magazine list Dead Outlaw among “The Best Theater of 2024,” with the former raving, “Brilliant and gorgeous!” and the latter calling it, “A raucous, rip-roaring, bourbon-and-arsenic-tinged musical!” Winner of four Best Musical Awards, including the Drama Desk, New York Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics Circle, and Off Broadway Alliance Awards, Dead Outlaw is “as much fun as any respectable grownup is likely to have in public” (New York Sun). The Wrap calls it, “An instant classic! You have to see it to believe it.”
