Alanis Morisette Musical JAGGED LITTLE PILL Coming to Broadway? Workshop Set for 2014

According to USA Today, a musical featuring the tunes of Alanis Morisette could be heading to Broadway in the near future. Tom Kitt (Next to Normal, American Idiot, If/Then) will arrange music and orchestrate the show, titled Jagged Little Pill. A workshop is set to be held in NYC in 2014.

The musical will feature all of the material from the 1995 album of the same name, as well some additional Morisette songs- some released and some unreleased.

Morisette told USA Today: "I don't know whether it would be me starting in the role or coming in at some point, but I'm totally open to the possibility of that. I think once (the book) is written, it will become more obvious whether I was born to originate the role."

She continued: "I've got a lot of itches to scratch. I'll be a huge student, looking to my mentors. I'm honored to have the opportunity."

As for whether the musical is bound for Broadway, Producer Vivek J. Tiwary added, "I believe that you don't pick your stage until you have your book. I'm a big fan of launching shows elsewhere. But I'm sure (Pill) will have strong Broadway potential."
