Jagged Little Pill: The Musical
Inner West Theatre Company proudly presents Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill: The Musical, an exhilarating new musical inspired by the themes and raw emotions laid bare in Alanis Morissette's seminal album of the same name.
Based around the music of Alanis Morisette, Jagged Little Pill centers on the Healy family: Mary Jane, Steve, and their teenage children Frankie and Nick. The Healy’s appear to be the picture perfect family in their competitive Connecticut suburban neighborhood. Yet pictures can be deceiving.
Despite her efforts to keep up appearances, Mary Jane battles a growing addiction to opiates following a car accident and battles with trauma in her past that she has not yet come to terms with. Steve watches his wife become increasingly withdrawn and distant from him, without knowing why.
Meanwhile their children are battling challenges of their own. Frankie is determined to find her own voice and discover her sexuality, while Nick must balance the pressure of his parents to do well against exposing his own faults in order to make sure justice is served.
Exploring a range of sensitive issues, including sexual assault, sexuality, addiction, and racism, Jagged Little Pill presents a vivid, messy, and chaotic portrayal of a modern-day family who deal with their pain and try to heal.
CONTENT WARNING: This production contains strong language, adult themes, drug use, and moments of sexual violence that some may find upsetting.
