Jagged Little Pill to Premiere at ART- Page 3

Unfortunately, Lea Michele's moment has quickly expired as is evident by her recent talk show circuit appearances promoting her new album which left not a single impact to her or the album whatsoever.  Yes, we know her Broadway credentials (which mean nothing outside of Broadway) but her peak is and will always be (for now) FOX TV's GLEE.  Her post-GLEE work hasn't made any impact and her diva behavior is well known in the show business community as well as to her public.  Seems many just want to stay away from her for their own reasons, including Ryan Murphy.  This is the same case for countless others so this scenario isn't anything new.  We all remember Nikki Blonsky, don't we?  Well, many on here still do.

Matthew Morrison didn't do the ART run of FINDING NEVERLAND after having done many workshops...wouldn't be shocked to see a similar situation here with Idina due to the Harmon play.

There’s a gala tonight at A.R.T and it looks like there’s a performance from Jagged Little Pill. Anyone know who’s performing?

Looks like Laurel Harris was part of the preview tonight!

I believe Laurel Harris is indeed the lead. She left Beautiful to do this show.

Looks like Elizabeth Stanley is starring.

Zero chance she'll be the one starring on Broadway right?

Video evidence. Wish they had gone for someone with a little more of a rock edge... Alas...

They really didn't video that preview well. Too far away and the audio was subpar. I asked via Facebook about a cast list and they replied "not yet".

Why the hate towards Elizabeth Stanley? I admit this isn't the kind of show she's done in the past, but I saw her in both On the Town then Bridges and thought she was phenomenal. Make no mistake, she can lead a musical.

No hate towards her. She's very professional and everything, but I think we all were expecting something more.

She led the Xanadu tour, so she can def do pop- kudos to the creatives for not going with the norm- maybe it's not meant to have a rock edge sound- we have 0 plot information other then source material. Inspired by doesn't mean a carbon copy of the original and those that want that can listen to the album.  These once in a lifetime vocalists can be imitated, but not duplicated.  I'm optimistic here, let's wait for more information.

Someone PLEASE tell them to cut the extra ensemble vocals and add in a string section in the pit.  The score is good enough as is, and doesn't need those oooh and ahhhs.  It all seems so bland without the signature whiny (in a good way) Alanis sound, Laurel sounds too polished.

Yeah, i agree it needs an edge. It’s a little too “Waitress,” which is maybe what they want. I hated how Waitress had those cheesy, Let’s make it sound more Broadway orchestrations.

The video presentation really reminds me of American Idiot and the orchestration / arrangements done by Tom Kitt....who is also working on Jagged Little Pill.

The entire cast and creative team have been announced.

This collaboration makes more sense now.  At the time, I didn't know they were in the show together.

Small cast(18), which I like. Hope to this does well and transfers to Broadway by next spring.

Celia Gooding is LaChanze’s daughter and every bit as talented as her mother.

The ensemble covers a wide range of ages, so it seems the plot is still based around the notion of problems and issues facing families and communities today (which is vague, at best). Still, I’m excited to see how this plays out.

Cool to see Eva Price attached to this. Really cool lady. Have met her on a few occadions.
