Rising stars Noah Pacht (Ponyboy Curtis), Caleb Mathura (Johnny Cade), and SeQuoiia (Dalla Winston) from Broadway’s The Outsiders stopped by the iHeartRadio Broadway studio for a candid and heartfelt conversation about stepping into one of the most talked-about productions on Broadway.
The trio, who are part of the show’s newest cast, opened up about what it’s been like joining a production with such a passionate fan base and a deeply rooted legacy. From the original S.E. Hinton novel to the iconic film adaptation, The Outsiders has long held a special place in the hearts of audiences and now, they’re bringing that story to life on stage eight shows a week.
During the interview, all three reflected on the surreal feeling of living out a dream they’ve worked toward for years. Taking the stage in a Broadway production is a milestone for any performer, but doing so in a show with such cultural significance adds another layer of meaning. The conversation also touched on their personal connections to The Outsiders. Like many fans, they were first introduced to the story through the book or film, making this full-circle moment even more impactful. Now, they’re part of the next chapter—helping introduce the story to a new generation of theatergoers while keeping its emotional core intact.
Beyond the stage, the group shared insight into the camaraderie within the company, especially as new cast members integrate into an already tight-knit ensemble. That sense of connection, they noted, is essential in a show that centers so heavily on friendship, loyalty, and identity.With fresh faces joining the cast and audiences continuing to show up in full force, The Outsiders remains a powerful and relevant presence on Broadway and performers like Noah Pacht, Calub Mathura, and Sequoia are helping carry its legacy forward.
