Not to count our chickens before they hatch (into feather boas), but the 2024–25 Broadway season is looking great. Need proof? Well, on the same day that the Audra McDonald–starring production of Gypsy opens, Itamar Moses’s Dead Outlaw, a new musical that we listed as the second-best theater production of 2024 for its off-Broadway incarnation, has been set for Broadway. When it rains! Dead Outlaw is based on a true story and follows the corpse of outlaw Elmer McCurdy through death.
