Angelina Jolie was seen buddying up to a very big singer on Thursday.
The Oscar winner, 48, posed alongside Alicia Keys at the after party for the opening of the Broadway musical adaptation of The Outsiders.
The ladies posed side-by-side as Alicia kept her sunglasses on at Cipriani 42nd Street.
Also there was Jolie’s daughter Vivienne Jolie–Pitt, 15.
Angie told Exra: ‘Viv ended up more with Justin than with me, so as you can tell by choice of attire, which team she’s on… She’s on the music, writer, and greaser team.’
Justin is Justin Levine, who did the book and score.
Jolie also complimented the cast: ‘I love them and I admire them. They are an extremely talented, brilliant, kind group of people.’

She added, ‘They really are. It’s not just that they’re good people and they are, which is rare to have.
‘Just such a group of great people, but they are so hardworking and they’re so talented that I just can’t wait for everybody to see them, so please come.’
Angie also designed some of the looks for the show, including the one Justin was wearing. She shared, ‘I had fun doing it.’
Angelina also said that Vivienne ended up being a ‘tough assistant’ to her.
She also said that Vivienne was the ‘biggest theatre head’ of the family, according to People.
‘Viv. Definitely Viv,’ she reiterated, while Justin Levine, who wrote the book and score to The Outsiders, chimed in: ‘Definitely Viv.’
‘Hands down,’ the By The Sea filmmaker concurred as she arrived at the premiere with Vivienne and her son Pax Jolie–Pitt, 20.

Jolie has revealed her daughter Vivienne Jolie–Pitt, 15, is much more of a theater aficionado than a cinephile — and she ended up being a ‘tough assistant’ to her on her latest theatre project
The 48-year-old Oscar winner shared on Thursday at the Broadway premiere of the musical adaptation of The Outsiders — which she produced — that Vivienne was the ‘biggest theatre head’ of the family, according to People
Angelina added that her daughter — a fraternal twin to son Knox — was a taskmaster for her.
‘She’ll correct me. She’ll say, “Didn’t you read the memo? We have to do this, we have to go through this,”‘ she recalled.
‘She’s been a really tough assistant,’ Angelina joked. ‘She takes it very, very seriously.’
Vivienne, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, took on The Outsiders after it was previously adapted as a critically acclaimed 1983 film by director Francis Ford Coppola, based on the 1967 novel by S.E. Hinton.
The film featured a number of actors just at the start of their careers who would be labeled as part of the ‘brat pack,’ a group of rising stars who often acted together, including Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, as well as supplemental members Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze and Ralph Macchio.
Jolie’s youngest daughter was primed to work on The Outsiders after she caught another production in San Diego.
Jolie was seen walking up to the theater with Pax by her side while wowing in a shimmering metallic gold gown teamed with a rust-hued cape.
The star wore her blonde locks in soft waves and sported smoky eye make-up and red lipstick.

Pax looked as if he could have been a Brat Pack member himself as he emanated low-key cool.
He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt that he used to significantly dress down a black tuxedo jacket with slim notched lapels.
He paired it with black pants and added to his relaxed style with a pair of classic white sneakers.
The celebrity child sported a thin mustache and wore his shaggy hair slicked back.
Vivienne wore a stylish blue boiler suit and styled her long hair with a side part for the event as she joined the cast and her mother on the red carpet.

Pax was seen walking next to his mother, while Vivienne hung back to chat with a friend.
In a statement last year, Jolie said that her daughter, ‘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.’
‘She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute,’ the actress continued.
