Fans of Alanis Morissette will soon have the chance to experience her groundbreaking music in an entirely new way as Slow Burn Theatre Company presents the Tony Award-winning musical Jagged Little Pill from June 13-28 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Running at the company\u2019s\u2019s Amaturo Theatre, the production closes Slow Burn Theatre\u2019s 16th season with a story that combines raw emotion, powerful performances and the unforgettable soundtrack that made Morissette a defining voice of the 1990s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inspired by Morissette\u2019s iconic album of the same name, the musical follows the seemingly perfect Healy family as hidden struggles begin to surface. Through themes of identity, addiction, trauma, mental health and family pressure, the show explores what happens when people can no longer hide behind appearances. The production is driven by a score packed with Morissette classics including \u201cIronic,\u201d \u201cYou Oughta Know,\u201d \u201cHand in My Pocket\u201d and \u201cAll I Really Want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The musical features a book by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody and has earned major acclaim since debuting on Broadway, winning two Tony Awards, two Drama Desk Awards, eight Outer Critics Circle Awards and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJagged Little Pill is a story about what happens when the image of perfection starts to crack, and the courage it takes to face what\u2019s underneath,\u201d said Patrick Fitzwater, Slow Burn Theatre Company\u2019s co-founder and director. \u201cAlanis Morissette\u2019s music gives voice to that tension in a way that is raw, honest, and deeply human.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
