Jagged Little Pill opened December 5 at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre. It features a book by Diablo Cody, music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, direction by Diane Paulus, and choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

The principal company is led by Kathryn Gallagher, Celia Rose Gooding, Derek Klena, Sean Allan Krill, Lauren Patten, and Elizabeth Stanley.

The musical is described as follows: "The Healys appear to be a picture-perfect suburban family; but when the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the veneer, or defiantly facing truths about themselves and the world around them." Jagged Little Pill previously made its world premiere at the American Repertory Theatre.
