Jagged Little Pill, a new Broadway musical featuring the songs of Grammy winner Alanis Morissette, kicks off preview performances at the Broadhurst Theatre on November 3. Diane Paulus directs the production, which will officially open on December 5.
Featuring a book by Diablo Cody with additional music by Glen Ballard, Mike Farrell and Guy Sigsworth, Jagged Little Pill tells an original story about a family grappling with uncomfortable truths about many of the urgent issues deeply affecting our communities and our world today. It is inspired by the themes and emotions laid bare in Morissette's Grammy-winning album that introduced beloved anthems including "Ironic," "You Oughta Know" and "Hand in My Pocket."
