ORLANDO, Fla. – You oughta know! A musical based on Alanis Morissette’s best selling album in the mid-90s will be taking the stage in Central Florida later this month.

“Jagged Little Pill The Musical” tells the story of an American family from Connecticut with an adopted Black daughter.

They begin to unravel when they’re faced with issues of repressed gender identity, sexual assault, and substance abuse.

It’s inspired by Morissette’s 1995 album exploring pain, healing, and empowerment.

During the 38th annual Grammy Awards in 1996, the “Jagged Little Pill” album won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. 21-year-old Morissette was the youngest artist to win the top honor at that point.

“Jagged Little Pill The Musical” made its debut in 2018, before doing previews in 2019.
