New Book
The official behind-the-scenes look at the powerful new musical based on Alanis Morissette’s cult classic album Jagged Little Pill.
Celebrating its 25-year anniversary in 2020, singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette’s Grammy-Award winning album Jagged Little Pill has come to define a generation. In the “triumphant and moving” ( Variety) Broadway musical of the same name, Morissette’s iconic numbers — including smash hits like “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” and “Hand in My Pocket,” — are paired with new songs by the beloved musician and a powerful original story by Academy Award-winning writer Diablo Cody ( Juno). Hailed as “urgent, wildly entertaining, and wickedly funny” ( The Boston Globe) and “joyful and redemptive, rousing and real” ( The New York Times), the Jagged Little Pill musical is a poignant and emotionally revelatory experience that is speaking to audiences across generations.
Now, for the first time, this book will take you behind the scenes with stunning photography, original in-depth interviews with the cast, crew, Alanis Morissette, and Diablo Cody, and an introduction from Morissette herself on the album’s genesis and journey from release to acclaimed musical — including details and anecdotes on her collaboration on the show. Including the full annotated libretto and a retrospective look at Alanis’s artistic influences and the significance of the album within the cultural context of the 90s as well as its long-term impact on the music world as we know it, this beautifully rendered book is a must-have keepsake for anyone who has been touched by this production or Morissette’s music.
