Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Vivienne Emerges as Family’s Biggest Theater Fan (Exclusive)
Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne is stealing the spotlight as the family’s most enthusiastic theater fan, as revealed by the Academy Award winner herself during the premiere of The Outsiders Broadway musical.
At the highly anticipated premiere on April 11, Jolie, 48, shared exclusive insights into her daughter’s involvement in the production. Despite Jolie’s role as a producer, it’s her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne who claims the title of the family’s biggest “theater head.”
“Viv. Definitely Viv,” confirms Jolie when asked who holds the coveted title, with The Outsiders book and score creator Justin Levine echoing her sentiment, stating, “Definitely Viv.”
Describing her daughter’s passion for theater, Jolie elaborates, “Hands down. She’ll correct me. She’ll say, ‘Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this, we have to go through this.'”
In a light-hearted moment, Jolie jokes about Vivienne’s role as her assistant during the production process, stating, “She’s been a really tough assistant. She takes it very, very seriously.”
Vivienne accompanied her mother to the premiere, where they graced the red carpet alongside the show’s cast at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
The Outsiders, a new stage adaptation of S. E. Hinton’s iconic 1967 coming-of-age novel, has garnered significant attention. The story, previously adapted for the screen nearly 40 years ago, follows the journey of brothers Ponyboy, Darrel, and Sodapop “Soda” Curtis and their group of friends in Tulsa, Okla., during the 1960s.
Jolie’s inspiration for the musical stems from her deep connection to the material and admiration for the creative team involved. “It’s been a privilege to be a part of the process,” she shares, expressing her respect for Broadway and its talented professionals.
Reflecting on the show’s impact, Jolie notes, “It’s very moving,” particularly witnessing the emotional reactions from young audience members.
The producer expresses her gratitude towards the cast, praising their dedication and talent. “It was a dream to work with this very dedicated and extremely talented cast,” she states, emphasizing their hard work and brilliance.
After a month of previews, The Outsiders officially opened to the public on Thursday, April 11, marking a significant milestone for Jolie and her team. With Vivienne’s unwavering enthusiasm and Jolie’s passion for the project, the musical promises to captivate audiences with its timeless story and remarkable performances.
