Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album Jagged Little Pill is headed to Broadway!
According to Entertainment Weekly, Morissette’s iconic album is going to be turned into a Broadway musical and a workshop production will begin in 2014.
E! Online reports that the musical will include all of the songs from the record, including popular hits like “You Oughta Know,” “Hand in My Pocket,” “You Learn,” and “Ironic.” The show on the Great White Way will also feature some of Morissette’s other hits as well as some new songs that she will pen specifically for the stage.
The 39-year-old singer shared her excitement about the production saying, “I look forward to taking the heart of Jagged Little Pill and expanding its story, fleshing it out into ever deeper layers of emotionality, specificity, humanity, power, physicality, spirit and fabulism.”
The show will be produced by Vivek J. Tiwary, who has experience turning rock albums into Broadway hits. He was responsible for turning Green Day’s album American idiot into a wildly successful Broadway show.
Morissette will also collaborate with Arvind Ethan David and Tom Kitt. “I look forward to collaborating with Vivek and Tom and our whole inspiring team to create something greater than the sum of our parts,” Morissette said.
