"The Outsiders" will join the already loaded 2025-26 KeyBank Broadway Series, Playhouse Square announced Wednesday.

The intrigue: Playhouse Square was a co-producer on the Broadway production of "The Outsiders," which won Best Musical at last year's Tony Awards.

The announcement caps a months-long reveal for the 2025-26 series that began with news "The Notebook" musical would launch its national tour at Connor Palace this September.

Here's the full schedule:

"The Notebook" (Sept. 6-27 at Connor Palace)
"Hell's Kitchen" (Oct. 10-Nov. 1 at KeyBank State Theatre)
"Stereophonic" (Jan. 6-25, 2026 at Connor Palace)
"Suffs" (Feb. 3-22, 2026, at Connor Palace)
"Water For Elephants" (March 10-29, 2026, at Connor Palace)
"The Outsiders" (April 28-May17, 2026, at Connor Palace)
"The Great Gatsby" (June 9-28, 2026, at Connor Palace)

What they're saying: "We are incredibly proud of our investment in The Outsiders," said David Greene, senior VP of programming at Playhouse Square, in a statement.

"From the very beginning, we knew this show was something special. Presenting the first national tour here at Playhouse Square and sharing 'The Outsiders' with Cleveland audiences is a true full circle moment."

If you go: Season tickets for the 2025-26 KeyBank Broadway Series go on sale Feb. 26 at 11am. Prices start at $165.

Single-show tickets will go on sale at a later date.
