Alanis Morissette gave us one of the best break-up songs of all time with “You Oughta Know” and now we can enjoy it on the big stage — Broadway. Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill album is going to become a Broadway musical. (So pay your nanny, Alanis. You can afford it.) From Daily News:
The 39-year-old musician’s repertoire will form the scaffolding of the play, which is scheduled to open in 2014.
“I look forward to taking the heart of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ and expanding its story, fleshing it out into deeper layers of emotionality, specificity, humanity, power, physicality, spirit, and fabulism,” Morissette said in a press release.
The singer will collaborate with Vivek J. Tiwary and Tom Kitt for the show.
“‘Jagged Little Pill’ was a triumph of self-expression — an album that was impossible to ignore with its massive sound and raw honesty,” Tiwary said in a statement. “I’m proud to be working with Alanis to bring that same emotional power and bravery onto a Broadway stage.”
So yeah, this is really happening. Would you see it? Let me rephrase, would you see if it you were in NYC and had time and tickets were reasonable? What if they were free?
I’m guessing Dave Coulier won’t. Fuck that guy!
