About “Jagged Little Pill”
Released in June 1995, “Jagged Little Pill” made a household name of Alanis Morissette, earning her the title of the best-selling international debut artist in history. Now, three decades later, that same album is the inspiration for a new Broadway musical and we’ve fallen “Head Over Feet” for It. “Jagged Little Pill” is a raw, edgy, topical, and by no means difficult to swallow.
This is not a bio-musical about Alanis Morissette. It tells the original story of The Healys; a family in crisis. Set in Connecticut, we meet Mary Jane (aka MJ), her husband Steve, her star pupil son Nick (who has just been accepted to Harvard), and her adopted black daughter Frankie. The picture-perfect family, however, might not be as squeaky-clean as it seems and soon the cracks begin to show.
The total running time for this show is 2:20.
