Video: Watch the Cast of THE OUTSIDERS Perform 'Grease Got a Hold' on TODAY
The new musical recently received 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical.
As part of Today's annual 'Best of Broadway Week,' producer Angelina Jolie and the cast of The Outsiders stopped by the show on Monday morning to discuss the newly Tony-nominated musical and perform the song Grease Got a Hold from the show.
Before the performance, Jolie discussed the 12 Tony nominations that the musical received, including Best Musical, saying "I love this group so much and I'm so proud of the work that they've done. I'm in awe of all of them."
When asked about his initial response to the nomination, Ponyboy actor Brody Grant said, "My mom woke me up [with a] FaceTime call...She's a first-grade teacher in Georgia and was with her platoon of first-grade teachers in her hallway...She said 'Did you watch the thing?' And I said 'No, I thought it aired later.' And she was like, 'Well, you got nominated!' I would not trade that experience for the world, it was the perfect way to get that news."

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.
