Shailene Woodley is feeling the love from her TV family!

Iain Armitage took to Instagram on Monday, Dec. 30 to celebrate his Big Little Lies mom in her Broadway debut. The sweet post featured a photo of the costars backstage followed by throwback pictures of the two of them and one snap of Armitage, 16, holding up the show’s playbill.

“Last night I got to see my first fake Mama, @shailenewoodley in a play on Broadway! She’s in Cult of Love at @2stnyc,” he captioned it. “When I was 7 I got cast in Big Little Lies. Before we headed to LA to begin filming, I had a FaceTime call with Shailene and I asked her what it would all be like. She assured me that it would be fun, ‘like playing’ and wow, she was so right. She, along with our excellent director Monsieur Jean-Marc set the tone for me and I’m certain that the joy we had on Big Little Lies is the reason I stayed with acting. So to get to see Shailene on stage in this remarkable NY stage debut was a thrill.”

“The play is about a family gathering on Christmas with all their tension, trauma, love, history and talent on full display and I loved it,” he continued. “I hope Shailene keeps coming back to theatre because it makes me so happy to see her up there and I hope she knows how proud I am to be her fake son!”

The actress, 33, put the post on her Instagram Stories, writing: “my Ziggy came to the show last night. made my heart so happy.”

She also reposted one of the photos from their younger years and wrote: “hes grown into such an extraordinary young man. can’t believe how much time has gone since we did Big Little Lies.”

Fans might get to see an on-screen reunion between Woodley and Armitage soon, with Nicole Kidman seemingly confirming a third installment of the limited series in November 2023. In May, the Young Sheldon star also teased the potential upcoming season. 

“I haven’t heard anything fully officially yet, but when such incredible intelligent people as our leading ladies start talking, I think it’s pretty hard not to listen,” he said in praise of Woodley, Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz. “I’d be honored to be back.”

Cult of Love officially opened on Dec. 12, where Woodley stars alongside her former Snowden costar Zachary Quinto. The Second Stage Theater’s production tells the story of four adult siblings who return to their childhood home for a dramatic holiday season.

“It’s the holiday season for the Dahl family!” an official synopsis for the play reads. “The Dahl traditions include singing carols in harmony at the drop of a hat, but the gathering is anything but harmonious. Old conflicts resurface, new issues battled, and dinner is taking absolutely forever to be served. Will the love the Dahls have for each other be enough to get them through, or will this be their last Christmas together?”

Among the cast are other stars making their Broadway debuts as well, including Euphoria‘s Barbie Ferreira, GLOW‘s Christopher Lowell, Younger‘s Molly Bernard, Star Wars: The Acolyte‘s Rebecca Henderson and musician Christopher Sears.

They are also joined by theatrical veterans Mare Winningham, David Rasche and Roberta Colindrez.
