TULSA — Angelina Jolie was one of “The Outsiders” last week during a trip to Tulsa.
With rehearsals set to begin Thursday, Feb. 1 in New York City, members of the cast and creative team of the “The Outsiders” musical — including the Oscar winner, a lead producer on the Broadway-bound show — made a Jan. 25-28 visit to Tulsa to explore the place where Oklahoma author S.E. Hinton penned her iconic 1967 novel and Academy Award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola filmed his beloved 1983 movie adaptation .
“The Outsiders” musical will begin its Broadway run with previews starting on March 16 ahead of the official opening night on April 11 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
The show made its world premiere last year at the La Jolla Playhouse in California, where previews started on Feb. 19 with the official opening on March 4.
The show proved popular enough that an extra week was added to its world-premiere run .
Jolie was among those who fell in love with the show during its California debut, becoming a lead producer last year.
