Jagged Little Pill (Boston)

See it if you like karaoke wrapped up in a forced plot package

Don't see it if you didn't like American Idiot or other musicals that use existing songs to tell a new story

Also Being a fan of the music I was excited to see this musical. Especially after reading so many glowing reviews. Unfortunately the piece does not live up to the hype. There are some good directorial moments and some good performances but as a whole this is just not good. The songs do not translate to the story. They are very dense for musical theater and in the end this is just one more jukebox musical that disappoints the cultured viewer. The audience by the way gave a standing ovation and stopped the show after "You oughta know" so somebody liked it whether its good or not. It's sort of a relevent "me too" plot with opioids and gender identity thrown in so be ready for that. This is no Rent and no Dear Evan Hansen I'll tell you that. The staging is messy and the choreography is a blend of modern styles that isn't that great. So surprised that this is the hot ticket of the fall season because it aint that hot. All the songs are better sung by Morrisette. No better than Mama Mia really.... Read more Read less

See it if you love Alanis Morissette and her music. A story of family and its difficulties

Don't see it if the Boston version was a bit too long, hoping they cut some for Broadway

See it if You loved the original album. You want to experience a mid-show show-stopping standing ovation song sung by one of the young cast-members.

Don't see it if Hate the music from the original album. If that is the case you don’t deserve to see the show.

Also You will experience this music in a whole new way as it becomes the story of one family’s life. The singing was beyond fantastic. If you are a Morissette fan then You Oughta Know that you must see this.... Read more Read less
