Alanis Morissette Announces Jagged Little Pill 25th-Anniversary Tour With Garbage & Liz Phair

Posted: 12/5/19 at 2:10am

As soon as I saw the post about the tour I did think about the possible impact on the box office. This show may need help after reviews come out. If fans have to choose between travel to NYC for the musical or to see the real thing, I think they will opt for the real thing.

The show may not last until June (when the tour begins) as well. So that’s another possibility.

Alanis is painted into a corner because she needs to strike while iron is hot and she is getting a lot of press at the moment. I don’t blame her for riding the wave of press to announce a tour.

Yes but playing limited cities for a high profile tour celebrating your iconic album means people may choose to travel to see her rather than buy Broadway tickets

I think the difference here is with The Cher Show, it was a choice between seeing seeing Stephanie J Block do an impression of Cher singing Cher songs, vs. seeing Cher herself performing. (No disrespect meant to SJB, who I hear was excellent). 

With JLP, the two mediums are (somewhat) farther apart.

When Jagged Little Pill (the album) came out, I must have been in 4th or 5th grade. I liked the listening to the songs on the radio, and my classmates and I would giggle about the word that Alanis *really* uses in You Oughta Know (that was cut from the radio.

I've always thought fondly of Alanis, but after seeing JLP in Boston, I reconnected with her music. I was young and shy when the album came out. As an adult, I'm in awe of how Alanis projected so much raw anger during a time when it felt like women weren't allowed to be angry. 

All of this is to say that I fall in the demographic of those who both want to see Jagged Little Pill on Broadway AND Alanis's upcoing tour wink

I think that this could help the show if anything. I saw the show twice on Broadway. And, both times I was sitting around people who came because of being fans of the album and Alanis’s music in general. I mean she played a show at The Apollo the other night where she did the entire Jagged Little Pill album unplugged/acoustic and it was a sold out show. I went, got my ticket via stub hub but was told by someone next to me that the show sold out fast when tickets went on sale.

I think that what can potentially be helpful is that those who were fans of the album when it came out 25 years ago, are those who can afford to see the show on Broadway.. it’s not like we’re taking about something like Be More Chill where the core fan base couldn’t really afford to spend more than rush on their own.

"As an adult, I'm in awe of how Alanis projected so much raw anger during a time when it felt like women weren't allowed to be angry"

I don't know where this idea comes from? Women were angry and expressed it. Madonna's Bedtime Stories album featuring Human Nature as a single came out 8 months before Jagged Little Pill.

Human Nature by Madonna didn't feel as much of an angry song as responding to her critics, for me. Alanis took anger to a whole other level. I danced to Madonna's song and sat and drank with my best friend to Alanis' whole cd! I don't remember Human Nature really being looked at asan "Angry" song, although it put her critics in their place! JMO
