Tony preview: Music makes 'Dead Outlaw' snap to life
- The musical Dead Outlaw, based in New York, centers on the story of outlaw Elmer McCurdy and will be featured at the 2025 Tony Awards.
- The show follows how no one claimed Elmer's body, leading the coroner to display it and charge 25 cents for public viewing.
- Andrew Durand leads as Elmer, performing convincingly as a dead man within a rotating tiny box set that evokes a Wild West tent show.
- Dead Outlaw is directed by David Cromer and features music composed by David Yazbek alongside Erik Della Penna, with Thom Sesma portraying the coroner Thomas Noguchi.
- The musical’s original storytelling and emotional depth suggest it will challenge typical feel-good shows, leaving audiences reflecting on Elmer’s unusual fate.
