Angelina Jolie Takes Daughter Vivienne To Meet 'Dear Evan Hansen' Cast

Angelina Jolie took her daughter Vivienne to see the North American tour of Dear Evan Hansen in Philadelphia.

The pair posed with star Anthony Norman backstage after the performance at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia, with the official Instagram account for the show sharing sweet photos of the delighted 14-year-old meeting the cast.

"Waving back at @angelinajolie and Vivienne this weekend in Philly," the caption reads.

The Girl Interrupted star, 47, was previously spotted in the audience at a Måneskin concert in Rome in July with her daughter Shiloh, 16.

Angelina Jolie has six children that she co-parents with her ex husband, Brad Pitt; Zahara, 17, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. They also share Maddox Chivan, 21, and Pax Thien, 18.

Jolie's trip to the theater comes after the mother of six was praised for sending her adopted daughter Zahara to a Historically Black College.

Earlier this summer, Jolie shared a picture of a group of women, including Zahara, standing in front of a balloon set up, suggesting they'll be the class of '26 at Spelman College in Atlanta.

"Zahara with her Spelman sisters!" Jolie wrote. "Congratulations to all new students starting this year. A very special place and an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl."

Spelman College is known as a historically Black, women's liberal arts college in Atlanta. Notable alumni from Spelman College includes politician Stacey Abrams, Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker and TV personality Rolonda Watts.

Meanwhile, legal drama between the kids' adoptive parents, Jolie and Pitt, appears to be continuing as they settle their divorce.

Pitt and Jolie announced their separation in September 2016, two years after marrying in August 2014. Jolie filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences," and the pair have since been locked in a custody battle over their six children.

The former couple owned a controlling stake in the French vineyard and home Château Miraval, but in October 2021 Jolie sold her share in the winery. Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie in June 2022 suggesting she intentionally "sought to inflict harm on" him by selling off her interests.

This month, the former couple's allegedly violent confrontation aboard a private jet flight in 2016 has been laid out in copies of FBI investigative documents obtained by Newsweek.

Details of Jolie's interview with FBI officials include allegations that Pitt yelled at her on the long-haul flight on September 14, 2016, "grabbed her by her head," shook her and "pushed her into the bathroom wall."

Newsweek has reached out to representatives of Jolie and Pitt for comment.
