In a surprising twist, Elon Musk has added his voice to the chorus of congratulations for Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who, alongside her mother Angelina Jolie, won their first Tony Award for the production of ‘The Outsiders.’ The mother-daughter duo made headlines when they took the stage at the Tony Awards to accept the trophy for Best Musical.
Angelina Jolie, a celebrated actress and humanitarian, and her 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne, served as producer and producer’s assistant, respectively, on the Broadway adaptation of the classic novel and film ‘The Outsiders.’ Their involvement in the production has been widely celebrated, not just for their successful win, but also for their hands-on approach and dedication to the arts.
Elon Musk, known for his varied interests and outspoken nature, took to social media to express his admiration for Vivienne’s achievement. “Huge congrats to Vivienne Jolie-Pitt on winning her first Tony Award. Remarkable talent runs in the family. Excited to see what the future holds for this young star,” Musk tweeted.
Angelina and Vivienne stood proudly on stage, donning matching teal outfits, as producer Matthew Rego accepted the award on behalf of the team. The moment was a significant milestone for the Jolie-Pitt family, marking Vivienne’s first major accolade in the entertainment industry.
The production of ‘The Outsiders’ has been a critical success, earning 12 nominations and showcasing a compelling story about Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and their Greaser family navigating self-discovery and societal challenges. Angelina’s involvement in bringing the show to Broadway began after she and Vivienne saw the production at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2023.
The Jolie-Pitt family, often in the limelight for their high-profile activities and humanitarian efforts, have once again demonstrated their commitment to the arts. Angelina and her children continue to inspire with their achievements and contributions to various fields.
Elon Musk’s unexpected shoutout highlights the widespread admiration for Vivienne’s breakthrough in the theater world, adding another layer of public interest and support for the young star’s burgeoning career.
