Alanis Morissette writing Jagged Little Pill musical
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 1 June 2017
Alanis Morissette has written a musical around her 1995 album ‘Jagged Little Pill’. What could possibly go wrong with that?
The show will premiere in May next year and will be directed by Diane Paulus, with Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody helping on the script.
Says Morissette: “The team that has come together for this ‘Jagged Little Pill’ musical is my musical theatre dream come true. The chemistry between all of us is crackling and I feel honoured to be diving into these songs again surrounded by all of this searing talent. Diablo and Diane are already taking these deeply personal songs that are part of my soul’s marrow to a whole other level of hope, freedom and complexity”.
Hurrah for hope, freedom and complexity. Especially complexity. I love complexity.
