We Just Got A Taste Of Jagged Little Pill – The Musical
Here’s a glimpse into what Alanis Morissette sounds like as a broadway musical.
Jagged Little Pill, a musical inspired by Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album, is set to make its Broadway debut in New York City on Nov. 3, and today, we are getting a glimpse into what it will be like.
The musical tells the story of the Healys, an upper-middle class family whose “picture-perfect” image turns out to be just that: an image.
In this video, cast members Celia Rose Gooding and Antonio Cipriano perform a revamped duet of “Head Over Feet.” And it’s pretty good. The clip shows them dancing, as if they are right on the edge of falling in love. Alanis explained to Rolling Stone “It’s about feeling this resistance to falling for someone. Some people enter relationships a little more apprehensive than others. Watching them both interact like, ‘I really want this but I’m terrified!’ – that’s what the song’s about.”
Alanis worked with screenwriter Diablo Cody on an original musical book based on the album, using only the songs as a guide.
There are a bunch of brand-new songs that have been written for the musical, too.
