Broadway alum Elizabeth Stanley will star in the world premiere of Jagged Little Pill, featuring the songs of Ottawa-born Alanis Morissette. As previously reported, the musical will premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Diane Paulus-helmed production will run May 5–June 30.
Stanley has appeared on Broadway in On the Town, Million Dollar Quartet, Cry-Baby, and the 2006 revival of Company. Her additional credits include The Red Letter Plays Off-Broadway and national tour of The Bridges of Madison County.
The Drama Desk nominee performed selections of the score at the A.R.T.’s gala March 5; joining her were Laurel Harris (Beautiful), Logan Hart (The Book of Mormon national tour), Nora Schell (Spamilton), and Soph Menas.
Additional casting will be announced at a later time. A 29-hour Equity reading that took place in June last year featured Idina Menzel. The Tony winner is set to star in Joshua Harmon’s Skintight Off-Broadway at the time of the A.R.T. run.
The musical will use the Morissette catalog, including the songs from her Grammy-winning 1995 album of the same name, to tell an original story that follows a modern, multi-generational family and explores gender and racial identity.
Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody will pen the book. The creative team also includes orchestrator and musical arranger Tom Kitt and choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
