Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill: The Musical is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there’s more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.
Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it’s never too late to change your way of thinking.
