Jagged Little Pill


The Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Shubert Organization will present the Broadway hit Jagged Little Pill at the Academy of Music from January 3 – 15, 2023. Inspired by the rock album of the same name by seven-time Grammy Award winner Alanis Morissette , Jagged Little Pill is part of the 2022-23 Broadway Series. 

 

Jagged Little Pill is a jukebox musical featuring Alanis Morissette’s groundbreaking hit songs such as “You Oughta Know,” and “Head Over Feet.” It interweaves the songs with the pain of the fictional Healy family and ultimately tells their story of healing and empowerment. The Healy’s appear to be an ideal suburban family – but when the cracks beneath them begin to surface, they must choose between maintaining the status quo, or facing the jarring truth about themselves, their community, and the world around them. 

 

Jagged Little Pill officially opened on Broadway on December 5, 2019, at the Broadhurst Theatre after beginning previews November 3.  Heidi Blickenstaff will reprise her role from the Broadway production as Mary Jane Healy; she is joined by Lauren Chanel  as Frankie Healy, Chris Hoch as Steve Healy and Dillon Klena as Nick Healy. The cast also includes Jade McLeod as Jo and Allison Sheppard as Bella. 

  

In the fall of 2020, the musical garnered a season-leading 15 Tony Nominations – including Best Musical – and Grand Central Publishing released a coffee table book that followed the journey of Jagged Little Pill to Broadway, with behind-the-scenes photos and stories from Alanis Morissette, Diablo Cody, the cast, and more. Following the show’s big Grammy Award win in 2021, Jagged Little Pill also won Tony Awards for Best Book of a Musical (Diablo Cody) and Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Lauren Patten).
