Jagged Little Pill: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

  • The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
    Josh Rogosin | Oct. 21, 2021
    Jagged Little Pill, the Broadway musical based on Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album of the same name, reopens Thursday night after a 19-month hiatus due to COVID. The cast assembled at the D’Angelico Guitars showroom in Manhattan to record this Tiny Desk (home) concert, finally able to celebrate their long-awaited return to the stage.
    Lauren Patten kicks off the set with “Hand In My Pocket.” She won a Tony for her portrayal of Jo and spent two years developing the role. Diablo Cody, known for writing the movie Juno, also won a Tony for best book. She was able to adapt the iconic songs for the zeitgeist, covering topics ranging from substance abuse, sexual identity, adoption, sexual assault and more. The show received the most Tony nominations of the season with a total of 15.
    As cast member Heidi Blickenstaff (Mary Jane) explains, the show is “about an American family in crisis, and I think a lot of people can relate to that.” She sings “Uninvited,” which has been reimagined to express her character’s struggle with opiate addiction.
    The song “Predator” wasn’t on the original album, but was co-written by Morissette and composer Michael Farrell just for this production. Its haunting melody depicting the emotional scars associated with sexual assault is emotionally engaging, both on stage and in this Tiny Desk performance.
    It comes as no surprise that the show ends with the unapologetically optimistic “You Learn.” It’s hard not to be optimistic watching these talented Broadway performers, seeing how gleeful they are doing what they love -- especially after waiting nearly two years for the ultimate privilege of performing in front of a live audience again.
    If you need substance abuse treatment and referral information, call the National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357). You can reach the National Sexual Assault Hotline 24/7: 1-800-656-4673

    This was beautiful. Anyone comparing it to Alanis is completely missing the point.

      Lol literally not one comment I've read is comparing it to Alanis. Her loyal JLpill-poppers know full well that she was 100% entirely involved in the process of writing, creating and producing this amazing show. Sadly, the only negativi-tea being served here seems to be from the insecure-fan staff.

      @@harleyquinn3589 lol, then you need to read a little bit more cause there are tons of comments comparing this (unfavorably) to Alanis. Here is one:
      "Well, it's been "broadwaymusicalized" hasn't it? Arrangements. Harmonies. Phrasing and rhythm. And sometimes I really like that treatment. But, not here. What it takes out is vital and what it adds in is unnecessary. But it did send me back to Alanis' original and also compel me to look up Lauren Patten as she has a striking voice."
      Dumdum.

    It's interesting - I really loved this Tiny Desk performance, but I've been thinking about the TD performances of "Hadestown" and "The Band's Visit," and after each of those I thought, "I really need to see this SHOW" - and I don't get a sense of the PLAY of "Jagged" from this. And I wonder if it's only because these are existing songs, and in this Tiny Desk concert (and they CALL it that), it's just covers of Alanis' songs. If I was in NYC, this would absolutely be on my list of things to see, but to me, this doesn't have the same impact as other casts showing off their music.

      Well this is a jukebox musical. So it’s very different than when you’re working with songs written to outline and propel the storyline.
      This is a show written around an existing project. I think their choice to perform it as such makes a lot of sense because of the music as well.

      @@viniciusb8863 Oh, I certainly understand that about jukebox musicals - but I did see the number they did on the Tony Awards and got the sense that "JLP" was more than just a series of cover songs (unlike the impression I got that night from "Tina"), so I was hoping this TDC would express a little more of the fact that it's a PLAY - although, now that I write this, I have NO idea how they would have done that. But again, I really liked this.

      ​ @Vinícius B actually i heard an interview with Alanis where she said that they chose songs based on the direction the writing was taking. they would write something in the story and she would say "i have a song for that!" :) i thought that was really interesting! also i believe "Predator" was written for the show.
