Next Tuesday, Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill: The Musical launches at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. Written by Diablo Cody, it’s a Broadway show based on Morissette’s undeniably confrontational and angst-ridden musical catalog.

To get pumped up for the six-night run, we’re leaning into emotionally charged music that explores the depths of angst, anxiety, and self-doubt. Also, if we’re gonna go all the way there, let’s also get some music in the mix that finds a point of catharsis and acceptance.
