Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” Heads to Broadway
Alanis Morissette is the latest musician to have her music come alive on a Broadway stage.
Morissette’s 1995 LP, Jagged Little Pill, is coming to the Broadway stage.
Morissette announced the news on Friday, stating that the show will debuting in workshops some time in 2014. The show’s concept will be similar to other musicals based on tunes by artists such as Green Day, Billy Joel and The Beatles.
“I look forward to taking the heart of Jagged Little Pill and expanding its story, fleshing it out into ever deeper layers of emotionality, specificity, humanity, power, physicality, spirit and fabulism,” Morissette said in a statement.
The show, titled Jagged Little Pill, will feature all 13 tracks from the album, as well as songs from Morissette’s later albums and new songs written specifically for the show. Tom Kitt, who composed American Idiot with Green Day, will help Morissette with the composition of new songs.
