“The Outsider” took home an award for best director for Danya Taymor, and best musical. The latter award resulted in Vivienne and Angelina taking the stage alongside cast and crew, who were all smiling excitedly onstage.
Angelina and Vivienne have supported the show through its run, attending its premiere. “This is about family, and it’s about community,” said Angelina of the musical in an appearance on The Today Show. “It doesn’t stay away from the darker sides of life and the lot that we have to discuss and the lot that we’re feeling,” she said. “But in the end, it’s what gets us through, and that is family.”
