Jagged Little Pill Musical Review

Jagged Little Pill hits the stage at the Lesher Center, turning Alanis Morissette’s iconic hits into a jukebox musical that’s more talent show than story. Based on her album but not her life, it follows the crumbling Healy family as secrets explode after a party gone wrong — tackling drugs, underage drinking, and assault. Written by Diablo Cody, it’s meant to be edgy, but characters feel like archetypes, reacting to chaos and belting songs instead of evolving. The staging is restrained, and while the cast sings beautifully, they don’t quite capture Alanis’s raw edge. Ultimately, it’s a flashy vocal showcase — not a gripping drama.
