Jagged Little Pill

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette and Diablo Cody is a Grammy And Tony Award Winning powerful rock musical inspired by Alanis Morissette's iconic album, weaving together the lives of a seemingly perfect suburban family as they confront buried trauma, addiction, identity, and the struggle for authenticity. With a searing original story by Diablo Cody and songs that defined a generation, the show channels raw emotion into a celebration of resilience and healing. It's a bold, urgent, and cathartic theatrical experience that asks what it takes to truly feel and be seen.
