Video: Watch Brody Grant and the Cast of THE OUTSIDERS Perform 'Great Expectations' on TODAY

As part of Today's annual 'Best of Broadway Week,' producer Angelina Jolie, Brody Grant, and the cast of The Outsiders stopped by the show on Monday morning to discuss the newly Tony-nominated musical and perform several songs from the show, including Great Expectations. 

Before the performance, Jolie talked with Hoda & Jenna about why the original novel continues to have an impact in the years since its 1967 publication.

"With so much happening, there's a lot of discussion that needs to be had and a lot of questions that need to be answered," the Oscar winner said.

"There's a lot within this that asks the hard questions but also ends up focusing on finding your true self, your true voice...finding your family... There's a reason this novel has been around for so long and who it speaks to."

The Outsiders Synopsis

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, the hardened hearts and aching souls of Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and their chosen family of ‘outsiders’ are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. A story of the bonds that brothers share and the hopes we all hold on to, this gripping new musical reinvigorates the timeless tale of ‘haves and have nots’, of protecting what’s yours and fighting for what could be.
