That said, yes. The book needs a major overhaul. I’d even suggest replacing half the songs in the show with other songs from Alanis’ catalog that would be better suited for these characters. Choosing to write the show with only this one album represented (well, besides the 4 other songs) is a poor choice. She has such an incredible selection of songs to choose from and for a show like this, not doing that just really hurts it.
"

I thought only 12 or so were from the Jagged Little Pill album itself?

I also echo that the book needs to be cleaned up. That being said, I was invested in the characters and the story. Right now JLP is like a bunch of excellent ingredients, and I want the creatives to figure out how to make the best meal with it.
"

JLP only has 13 songs on the album so yeah. The show had 22 songs in it. So Unsexy, Hands Clean, Unprodigal Daughter, Uninvited, Thank U and That I Would Be Good were on different albums. Smiling, Predator and No were written for the show.

“No” was a bonus track on her 2012 album. I believe that was only available on the Japanese import, though. And it’s one of the rare songs of hers I actually can’t stand.

Ahhh. My bad. In the show it's one of my favorite scenes after You Oughta Know and Uninvited.

It’s just so “on the nose” that to me, it just made me roll my eyes.

Was chatting with someone that knows Diane Paulus and apparently she is going to keep most of the cast intact for the Broadway transfer and that includes Elizabeth Stanley.

So, does that mean it's definitely transferring?  ^
