Angelina Jolie, renowned for her acting prowess and humanitarian efforts, expressed her pride in her daughter's involvement. "Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn't focused on being the centre of attention but in being a support to other creatives," Jolie stated. She further shared her conviction that Vivienne's commitment to theatre and diligent work ethic will greatly contribute to the production's success.

According to sources close to the Mr. & Mrs Smith star, Vivienne's enthusiasm for the musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton's classic 1967 novel, The Outsiders, was ignited when she attended the world premiere with her mother earlier this year in San Diego, California. Jolie's longstanding interest in theatre, combined with her daughter's newfound passion, led to a meeting between the Jolie-Pitts and the novel's author, S.E. Hinton.

This meeting, according to insiders, played a pivotal role in Angelina Jolie's decision to take on the lead producer role for the Broadway run of the show. Her aspiration is to create a production that resonates with young audiences. A source close to Jolie revealed her intent to involve young people throughout the creative process and prioritise their input in bringing the production to life on the Broadway stage.

Jolie's other kids too have joined the entertainment industry

Vivienne and her twin brother, Knox, are the youngest of Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children. Despite their parents' high-profile divorce in 2016, the family continues to make waves in the entertainment world. Jolie's eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, served as assistant directors for her film Without Blood, shot in Italy the previous year.

Jolie's dedication to both her children and her craft is undeniable. As the Maleficent star strives to create a production that speaks to a younger audience, she is also fostering a new generation of creative talents within her own family.
