Jagged Little Pill

jagged little pill

 

Jagged Little Pill offers an important message about the complexities of modern life and the power of healing, and the catchy tunes from Alanis Morissette's iconic musical catalog elevate the emotional depth of the story. The protagonist Mary Jane goes through ups and downs trying to balance her family responsibilities and personal struggles with opioid addiction, while her daughter Frankie deals with an identity crisis.

In short, expect the unexpected, and be ready to fight against the urge to dance in the aisles as powerful melodies fill the theater. If you're a Morisette fan, you will see the true depth of her music come to life in a brilliant tale that people of all races, ages and genders can relate to. And if you're not familiar with this music icon, you'll still find the show moving and memorable, as you move seamlessly from one heightened emotion to the next. 

Jagged Little Pill features fun numbers such as: 

  • "You Oughta Know"

  • "Ironic"

  • "All I Really Want"

  • "Hand in My Pocket"

  • "Head Over Feet"

  • "Uninvited"

  • "You Learn"

  • "Mary Jane"

  • "Thank U"

  • "Wake UP"

Expect truly unforgettable performances from Jade McLeod as Jo, who brings the house down with their rendition of "You Oughta Know," quite likely the show's biggest moment. Bligh Voth also brings undeniable power and emotion as Mary Jane, who shines during "Uninvited."
