The new cast includes Sky Lakota-Lynch, Kevin William Paul, Brent Comer, Joshua Boone, Joshua Schmidt and Brody Grant. Jolie is one of the lead producers on the musical.Vivienne chose the project after seeing a production of The Outsiders in San Diego, Jolie explained last year.'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,' Jolie said in a statement. 'She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.' 'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse,' Jolie said. 'I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.'
        The synopsis for The Outsiders film reads: 'A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group.  'When Greasers Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that ends in the death of a Social member, the boys are forced to go into hiding. 'Soon Ponyboy and Johnny, along with the intense Dallas (Matt Dillon) and their other Greaser buddies, must contend with the consequences of their violent lives. 'While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.' Jolie has a total of six kids: In addition to Vivienne she has daughters Shiloh and Zahara, as well as sons Knox, Maddox and Pax. This comes after DailyMail.com reported that Brad and Angelina's battle is finally nearing the end as the actor has now reportedly dropped his pursuit seeking shared custody of the children he has with his ex. A source told DailyMail.com that the couple, who have been embroiled in a nasty courtroom showdown since they split in 2016, are currently in negotiations and are finally approaching the finish line in their epic legal war, with an end expected by the summer. While Brad had originally sought a 50/50 arrangement relating to their six kids, an insider has now revealed that he is no longer contesting the matter.That means that Angelina will retain primary physical custody of the children and he will have visitation rights.One factor in that decision is that much of their brood has 'aged out' - only Shiloh, 17, Knox, and Vivienne, both 15, are still under 18 - and Shiloh will pass that milestone in May.The older children - Maddox 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19 - are thought to have difficult relationships with Brad; and as adults, in the eyes of the law, are now not covered by any custody agreements.Adopted son Pax allegedly hasn't spoken to the Fight Club alum since the now-infamous private plane fight which ended the marriage, and is said to not even regard Brad as a parent anymore.A source from Brad's camp described what has gone on between him and the kids as 'textbook parental alienation' and claimed it was Angelina's intention to draw out the divorce until the children were 18. Her friends, though, have insisted: 'Brad has nobody to blame but himself. All Angelina wants is to heal their family and move on.'DailyMail.com has reached out to both Angelina and Brad's representatives.
