Review of Jagged Little Pill
Jagged Little Pill is one of the most successful Broadway musicals of the last few years. The soundtracks of this musical reflect the inner struggles of women (largely), that finds voice in Morissette’s youthful rock tracks. You Oughta Know is perhaps the most memorable track of this musical. This alt-rock track has charmed casual listeners and Broadyway aficionados alike.
The story revolves around Mary Jane and her workaholic husband Steve. While Mary has a dark history of opium addiction, her husband Steve is addicted to porn. Their two children — Frankie and Nick — exhibit opposing characteristics. While Frankie is an activist, Nick lacks emotional maturity. A sparkling NY Times review highlights the brilliance of the musical.
The pangs of suppressed sexuality is a central theme of the musical. Frankie, a black queer girl, does not get the support she demands from her mother. Mary Jane refuses to address Frankie’s partner Jo (who is non-binary) by her preferred name and pronouns.
Jagged Little Pill addresses some of the leading issues of present day United States — sexuality, gender, ableism, racism, transphobia, and ruthless capitalism. It strikes the chord with the audience who have seen these patriarchal and heteronormative forces play around them.
The choreography is smooth, and the songs are both relevant and meaningful. It’s a topical musical that has captured the attention of people from across the world.
Like other immensely successful Broadway Shows, Jagged Little Pill is very likely to head out on a National Tour or even an international tour that includes London and other spots eventually. The show is blowing up on Broadway and performing in front of sellout audiences consistently at the Broadhurst Theatre. It seems just a matter of time before they roll out the tour so more people can experience this amazing art.
