The Outsiders is a coming-of-age story about two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs (short form of Socials), who are divided by their socioeconomic status. The story was written as a novel by S. E. Hinton and published in 1967. A 1983 film adaptation of the novel was directed by Francis Ford Coppola who also produced a 13 episode TV series based on the characters from the novel and the movie that aired from March to July 1990 on Fox. A stage adaptation of Hinton's novel by Christopher Sergel was published in the same year. In 2023, a musical version of the novel premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in California before transferring to Broadway in 2024.
