The Outsiders is an adaptation of the beloved S.E. Hinton novel, which was turned into a 1983 movie. Angelina and her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne caught the musical’s pre-Broadway run in La Jolla, Calif. and she decided to join the producing team.

“Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,” Angelina told People. “She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”
Angelina revealed that Vivienne will be a volunteer assistant on the production.
A source added, “Angelina is excited about this new venture. She believes this is a musical for all ages but particularly resonates with young people. She wants to ensure the team is listening and working with young people every step of the way and that their voices are leading in bringing this production to life on Broadway.”
