Dev Test County • October 29, 2025
Good morning, Dev Test County. Broadway is bringing a slice of 1960s Oklahoma to Dallas with "The Outsiders" hitting the Music Hall at Fair Park next November. The Tony Award-winning adaptation of S.E. Hinton's classic novel promises to electrify audiences with its portrayal of Ponyboy Curtis and the Greasers as they navigate friendship, identity, and social divides in Tulsa. Critics are already calling it a production with "the power to inspire an entire generation."
Meanwhile, the Queen of Christmas has delivered coal to Dallas this holiday season, as Mariah Carey's festive pop-up bars skip our city in favor of Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Vegas. As locals reminisce about last year's glittery wonderland at Virgin Hotel, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church is making headlines of its own with colorful rainbow steps that caught the attention of Bravo's Andy Cohen, who praised the congregation for their inclusive expression.

๐ญ Award-winning musical "The Outsiders" hits Dallas stages this November. Based on S.E. Hinton's beloved novel, the Tony Award-winning Best Musical will run at the Music Hall at Fair Park from November 4-16, 2025. The story follows Ponyboy Curtis and his Greaser family in 1967 Tulsa as they navigate friendship and identity while confronting the affluent Socs. Critics have praised the Broadway production as "stunning" and "electrifying," with the New York Times saying it has "the power to inspire an entire generation." Tickets are available now at BroadwayDallas.org, with group sales options for parties of ten or more.
๐ Mariah Carey's holiday pop-up bars skip Dallas this year. The festive "glittery holiday wonderland" will instead appear in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Las Vegas from mid-November through December. Last year, Dallas hosted the Black Irish Holiday Bar at Virgin Hotel, offering $20 entry with Instagram-worthy moments and festive cocktails named after the Queen of Christmas herself. This year's pop-ups will feature similar holiday magic with Santa's Sleigh photo-ops, specialty drinks like candy cane-rimmed espresso martinis, and plenty of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" playing on loop. Dallas fans are left wondering if they've been naughty as they reminisce about last year's festive experience.
๐ Dallas church paints pride steps after governor's anti-LGBTQ order. Bravo's Andy Cohen praised Oak Lawn United Methodist Church on his show for creating rainbow steps in response to Governor Greg Abbott's directive to remove pride crosswalks. The church's senior pastor emphasized this was "not a political act" but rather "an expression of our faith." Cohen commended the church for showing that "accepting others, even people that are different from you, is truly the Christian thing to do." Abbott had claimed the crosswalks promoted "political ideologies," despite them being privately funded in Dallas's historic Gayborhood.
