Angelina Jolie credits her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne for helping her produce the musical theater adaptation of The Outsiders on Broadway. Vivienne keeps her mother in line and takes her job seriously.
The musical theater adaptation of The Outsiders premiered on Broadway on Thursday, April 11, and lead producer Angelina Jolie says she has her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne to thank for helping her pull it off.'She'll correct me,' Angelina said of her Vivienne, whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt . 'She'll say, 'Didn't you read the memo? We have to do this. We have to go through this.
That tracks with a statement Angelina released last year when she first confirmed that her daughter would help her on the production.'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,' she said in a statement last year. 'She’s very thoughtful and serious about theater and working hard to best understand how to contribute.
The Outsiders is a stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel and the 1983 Francis Ford Coppola-directed film by the same name. The musical premiered in San Diego in February and began previews on Broadway March 16. Brody Grant and Jason Schmidt star as Ponyboy Curtis and Sodapop “Soda” Curtis, respectively.
This isn’t the first time Angelina has collaborated with her children. She worked with sons Maddox, 22, and Pax, 19 on the upcoming film Without Blood. Angelina directed the war drama, while her sons worked in the assistant director department.
