During the interview, the Maleficent star admitted it was Vivienne who "turned her on" to the idea of producing a Broadway staging of the show. The cameras turned to the crowd to show the teenager sporting a casual look in light-wash jeans, a gray t-shirt and a blue sweater as she lovingly gazed at her mom.
"I think that's to say for anybody watching and anybody who's going to see this and what they brought forward, this is about a family," Angelina shared.
Angelina Jolie and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt are working together on a Broadway musical.
"The same reason it responded to her and the same reason she wanted me next to her watching it, the same reason we all hugged when we came out here is because this is about family and it's about community," she added.
"I think when anybody comes to see this, it doesn't stay away from the darker sides of life and a lot we have to discuss and a lot that we're feeling," the mother-of-six — who also shares Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Knox with her ex-husband Brad Pitt — continued. "But in the end, it's what gets us through — and that is family."

"So much about this show is about reconnecting with your inner child, and to have the privilege of working alongside this brilliant 15-year-old and hear her perspective and also learn the lesson of speaking when you have something to say or learning how to give energy into a space," he said."
