Angelina Jolie celebrated the Broadway premiere of her show The Outsiders with daughter Vivienne.

On Thursday, April 11, the actress and philanthropist, 48, made an appearance at the premiere of the The Outsiders, the new stage adaptation of S. E. Hinton's beloved 1967 coming-of-age novel.

She posed with 15-year-old Vivienne as well as the show's score creator and book co-creator Justin Levine, plus the cast, on the red carpet at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

The Girl, Interrupted star dressed and styled members of the cast, as well as her daughter, in Atelier Jolie. The actress wore a Chloe x Atelier Jolie dress, along with a vintage cape.

The Outsiders takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the 1960s and follows brothers Ponyboy Curtis (played by Brody Grant in this musical), Darrel Curtis (Brent Comer), Sodapop "Soda" Curtis (Jason Schmidt) and their group of friends some time after the death of the brothers' parents.

The musical's plot revolves around conflicts between the group of greasers and more affluent teenagers in the city, known as Socs. Rounding out the cast of the show are Sky Lakota-Lynch as Johnny Cade, Daryl Tofa as Keith "Two-Bit Mathews," and Joshua Boone as Dallas "Dally" Winston.

PEOPLE previously previewed one of the musical's brand-new songs, titled "Stay Gold" — a title familiar to fans of the original novel or 1983 film. Inspired by Robert Frost’s poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay," it's a line told to protagonist Ponyboy by close friend Johnny during one of the story's most pivotal moments.

Jolie first announced in August 2023 that she was working as a lead producer on the new musical. She also revealed at the that time that Vivienne would be joining the production as a volunteer assistant, and opened up about how the pair were inspired to get involved in the musical when they saw the pre-Broadway production at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego.

Jolie recently told PEOPLE she was inspired to contribute to the new musical because "I feel so strongly about this material and this creative team."

"It’s been a privilege to be a part of the process," she said. "I have so much respect for Broadway and all who work within."

The show has been playing in previews since March 16, and Jolie said she was "excited for audiences to see" the production.

"I've been in the theater watching as the first reactions came in, including the often very emotional reaction from young people. It’s very moving," said Jolie.
