Angelina Jolie took home her first Tony Award for producing The Outsiders, a musical based on S.E. Hinton’s classic 1967 novel of the same name. The win, for best musical, brings her that much closer to becoming one of the only 15 entertainers to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. She has previously won an Oscar and is now halfway to reaching EGOT status.
The actress and producer hit the red carpet and main stage with her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne, who helped her mother produce the Broadway show. The pair coordinated in teal ensembles for the special event: Angelina wore an elegant velvet gown and matching shawl from Versace, while Vivienne opted for a waistcoat, matching trousers, and Converse.
According to Deadline, Vivienne was the one who encouraged her mother to see a staging of the musical in La Jolla, CA. The mother and daughter duo also contributed notes on the hit Broadway version, per the outlet.
As the pair took the stage alongside The Outsiders company, producer Matthew Rego gave a specific shout-out to Jolie in his Tony acceptance speech. He also name-checked The Outsiders author S.E. Hinton, who was in the audience. The story follows 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, his two brothers, and his best friend Johnny – collectively known as the Greasers – while the struggle to get by and stand against the wealthy rival group the Socs.
In May, Angelina Jolie made a rare appearance to speak about The Outsiders on the Today show. “This is about family, and it’s about community,” Jolie said of the musical. “It doesn’t stay away from the darker sides of life and the lot that we have to discuss and the lot that we’re feeling,” she added. “But in the end, it’s what gets us through, and that is family.”
