Much Anticipated ‘Dead Outlaw’ Musical Announces Broadway Cast & Creative Team

Dead Outlaw, the much anticipated Broadway musical coming this spring, has announced that the cast of the critically acclaimed Off Broadway cast will reprise their roles from the 2024 staging.

Staring in the Broadway production of the musical directed by David Cromer will be 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.

Written by Itamar Moses, featuring music and lyrics from David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna, Dead Outlaw will open on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on April 27.

Produced by Lia Vollack Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions, the show is described as “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.”

Originally produced Off Broadway in 2024 by Audible Theater, Dead Outlaw will arrive on Broadway with a creative team including 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).
