Here’s what’s new and interesting in entertainment and the arts:
Alanis Morissette’s angsty, groundbreaking 1995 album, « Jagged Little Pill, » always seemed like it had enough melodrama to make it into a theatrical production. Now it’s coming to a stage in Massachusetts.
The new production of « Jagged Little Pill, » helmed by « Juno » writer Diablo Cody and director Diane Paulus, will debut at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge next May. The musical will feature songs from the LP — famed for its unsparing look at relationships — along with other music from Morissette’s catalog and « Pill » producer Glen Ballard.
« This team that has come together for this ‘Jagged Little Pill’ musical is my musical theater dream come true, » Morissette said in a statement. « The chemistry between all of us is crackling and I feel honored to be diving into these songs again, surrounded by all of this searing talent.”
