“I feel very fortunate to be a part of this special production,” Angelina said in a statement (via Deadline). “I studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute where I realized my first love, as a performer, was the theatre. I had not found a way back until now. 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. 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 production will be directed by Danya Taymor. The musical debuted at La Jolla Playhouse earlier this year. No opening date or casting has been announced at this time.
