“Funny Girl with my girl 🥰” she wrote on a photo of Jade sitting nearly front-row for the show and holding up the show’s program.

It’s no surprise that the pair saw the musical as Jade — whom De Laurentiis shares with ex Todd Thompson — has a passion for theater. In March, the budding actressperformed the title role of her middle school’s production ofMatilda the Musicaland attended a theater camp in the summer.

Plus,Jade’s new high schoolfollows a “less academic and more artsy” curriculum and she is loving it, according to De Laurentiis.

“I think that she’s found her people. It’s so wonderful to see that in high school,” De Laurentiis told PEOPLE in October. “She’s really enjoying herself.”

Despite her talent for the stage, De Laurentiis won’t let her daughter pursue acting professionally quite yet.

“That girl has been bugging me to allow her to do auditions for off-Broadway shows for years and I’m like, ‘No,'” De Laurentiis told PEOPLE in April about her only child. “‘You’re not moving to New York. You’re not doing this. You have to be a child. It’s important to be a child. It only happens once in your life.”

“So, we are encouraging it. We’re just not taking that giant leap yet,” she continued. “I’m a little scared. She’s still a cub.”
