About the show:
Alanis Morissette’s Grammy and Tony Award Winning Jagged Little Pill: The Musical is a searing and deeply human portrait of a contemporary family in crisis. With an urgent story written by Diablo Cody coupled with Morissette’s groundbreaking rock music that shaped a generation, the musical tackles themes of connection, identity, addiction, consent, race, and the struggle for authenticity. As the Healy family and those around them grapple with inner personal conflict, buried truths come to light and relationships fracture. Each character is forced to confront the pain they’ve buried and the courage it takes to be honest with themselves and each other. Fierce, vulnerable, and unapologetically real, Jagged Little Pill: The Musical is a cathartic theatrical experience that explores the messy, beautiful complexity of being human.
