PLOT SYNOPSIS
Inspired by Alanis Morissette’s iconic album, JAGGED LITTLE PILL is a bold and emotionally charged musical that explores the struggles hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect suburban family. Through a series of intertwining stories, the show tackles themes of racial and gender identity, mental health, addiction and the impact of sexual violence on a community. With a powerful rock score and unflinching honesty, this TONY-winning musical invites audiences to examine what it means to speak up, show up and fight for change.
