Last week Storm Eunice lead to cancelled shows and closed theatres with Venues having to adapt to the adverse weather and now Jagged Little Pill has confirmed it will open in the West End this autumn.

The show’s official accounts have stated the musical, which features the much-loved music catalogue of Alanis Morrissette, is headed for London in November.

It was nominated for two Tony Awards for its spell on Broadway (which began in December 2019) which then went on to conclude at the end of 2021.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus, Jagged Little Pill features a book by Oscar winner Diablo Cody, music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, lyrics by Alanis Morissette, and choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

Though the 22 songs — all of them with lyrics by Morissette, most of them with music by Morissette and Glen Ballard — are as catchy and crunchy as ever, that’s no easy job.

The show is based on Morissette’s album Jagged Little Pill and incorporates ’90s anthems including “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” and “Hand in My Pocket.”

The production has scenic design by Riccardo Hernandez, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend, sound design by Jonathan Deans, and additional music by Mike Farrell and Guy Sigsworth.

Further details, including cast (which may reportedly be from talent this side of the Atlantic), venue and dates are to be revealed – Subscribe To Blog Updates for more (See sidebar near the top).
