Joshua Boone, who received a 2024 Tony Award nomination for originating the role of Dallas Winston in “The Outsiders,” has set a final performance date of Jan. 26 at the Jacobs Theatre. Understudies Aramie Payton and Daryl Tofa will alternate in the role of Dallas until a permanent replacement is announced.
“I’m truly grateful to have been part of the ‘Outsiders’ journey,” shared Boone in a statement. “It has had a profound impact on my life and I’m excited to use all of the lessons and blessings I’ve gained from it going forward. Thank you to [director] Danya [Taymor] and the whole team for seeing something in me they felt could be of use to the story, the cast for accepting my personhood, the crew and ushers for their continued encouragement and support, and above all else, I hope that the audiences felt, and keep feeling, and keep feeling, and keep feeling, until we meet again, no matter the medium. While I’m leaving to be of service to a story on-screen, the stage has my heart, and I’ll most definitely be back to collect it. Until then.”
Broadway News reached out to Boone’s personal press representative for details on his upcoming screen project but did not hear back in time for publication.
“The Outsiders” is produced by the Araca Group, American Zoetrope, Olympus Theatricals, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky and Angelina Jolie.
