Angelina Jolie worked on her new musical The Outsiders with her daughter Vivienne Jolie Pitt. The musical is now in the preview stages in New York City with an opening night on April 11. On Wednesday the Oscar-winning actress was seen at a showing of the production with the cast.
Joining her at the viewing was her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, whose father is Brad Pitt. Angelina and Vivienne have been working together on the project as the teen has become interested in theatre, said her mom last year in a statement.
Also seen at the viewing of The Outsiders was Matt Dillon, who was one of the stars of the 1983 coming-of-age drama. The film also featured the top talent of the day: Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, C Thomas Howell and Ralph Macchio.
Angelina wore black tinted glasses with a black outfit as her hair was down. She was beaming with pride. On her part, Vivienne was seen in one of the photos as she wore a blue Nike top. The new cast includes Sky Lakota-Lynch, Kevin William Paul, Brent Comer, Joshua Boone, Joshua Schmidt and Brody Grant.
Angelina Jolie served as one of the lead producers of the musical. Vivienne chose the project after seeing a production of The Outsiders in San Diego, Jolie explained last year. ‘Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the centre of attention but in being a support to other creatives,’ Jolie said in a statement.
‘She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.’ ‘I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse,’ Jolie said.
‘I can’t begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.’ The synopsis for The Outsiders film reads: ‘A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group.
Apart from Vivien, Joliet has five other kids Shiloh, Sahara, Knox, Maddox and Pax whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt. This comes after DailyMail.com reported that Brad and Angelina’s battle is finally nearing the end as the actor has now reportedly dropped his pursuit seeking shared custody of the children he has with his ex.
