About this listen

Recipient of 7 Tony Award Nominations, Including Best Musical

“THE BEST MUSICAL OF THE DECADE! It will revive your faith in Broadway itself.” —USA Today

“This truly twisted yarn is THE SURPRISINGLY FEEL-GOOD MUSICAL OF THE SEASON! It should have a hell of an afterlife.” —The New York Times

Directed By David Cromer

Based on a “that can’t actually be true” story, Dead Outlaw is the darkly hilarious and wildly inventive new musical about Elmer McCurdy, an early 20th-century outlaw who became a traveling corpse and accidental celebrity. After a botched train robbery and an untimely death, Elmer’s body embarks on a decades-long postmortem adventure—through carnivals, roadside attractions, wax museums, and even a Hollywood film set. Dead Outlaw dives into the absurdity of fame, the inevitability of failure, and the meaning—or utter meaninglessness—of legacy.

With music and lyrics by Tony Award winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit) and Erik Della Penna, and a book by Tony Award winner Itamar Moses (The Band’s Visit), and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (The Band’s Visit)- Dead Outlaw marks Audible’s first-ever commissioned musical.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.
