Broadway welcomed Angelina Jolie and her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne recently. This was for the premiere of the musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic novel, “The Outsiders,” on Thursday, April 11. Jolie, who serves as the musical’s lead producer, was joined by the cast on the red carpet.
The Outsiders musical is set in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is based on the life of the Curtis brothers—Ponyboy, Darrel, and Sodapop—and their struggles with local rivalries after their parents’ deaths. The story also tells about the conflicts between the working-class greasers and wealthier Socs.
The cast of the play features Brody Grant as Ponyboy, Brent Comer as Darrel, Jason Schmidt as Sodapop, Sky Lakota-Lynch as Johnny Cade, Daryl Tofa as Keith “Two-Bit” Mathews, and Joshua Boone as Dallas “Dally” Winston.
The musical highlight is the song “Stay Gold,” inspired by the Robert Frost poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”
Jolie’s deep involvement with the musical began in August 2023, following a pre-Broadway run at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. In a recent interview, she expressed her profound connection to the material and unwavering respect for Broadway. Jolie’s words reflect her dedication, “It’s been a privilege to be a part of the process. I have so much respect for Broadway and all who work within.”
The production has been previewing since March 16, and according to Jolie, the audience reactions have been nothing short of moving. Particularly among the young viewers, the musical has stirred deep emotions. The musical promises to be a reflective and stirring adaptation of the beloved story, leaving a lasting impact on its audience.
