Angelina Jolie talks about The Outsiders
The Outsiders is all set for its North American tour that will begin in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on October 8, as reported by People. It will tour more than 30 cities till September 2026. In a video shared by the official production page to People, Danya Taylor talks about how The Outsiders is one of those “things” where different “races, political and religious beliefs, ages” can all be in a single space together and have a similar impact.
Replying to Danya, Angelina says, “Somebody said, ‘you know, this is a uniquely American story, ’ but I have also found it extraordinary how much the story has resonated globally.” Angelina adds, "Everywhere in the world has something that has challenged those neighborhoods, those families, those people, where you’re wondering your place, and where communities or class systems put people against each other and have made them feel very different and separate.”
Danya then concluded that the book, as well as the musical, has resonated with a lot of people, and that is indeed a rare quality in the current scenario. In another conversation with the creatives of the musical, Jolie also said that the show is different, and she knows a lot of people will drag their loved ones to watch the show with them, and the person who is dragged, too, will fall in love with the show.
