Dead Outlaw
Longacre Theatre (Broadway)
Dead Outlaw presents a darkly comedic and inventive tale inspired by the bizarre true story of outlaw-turned-corpse-turned-celebrity Elmer McCurdy. The narrative follows Elmer’s posthumous adventures, revealing the surreal journey of fame, failure, and the quest for a meaningful legacy—even after death. Life, it seems, is not solely defined by mortality.
