Jagged Little Pill: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
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

With or without a mic, Derek Klena is giving it all and that’s why I love him
Everyone sounds incredible. I was lucky enough to see Heidi this last week. Her voice is amazing - uninvited live with the choreography had me in tears.

That dancer who was the "other" MJ was absolutely amazing. Ilicited such STRONG emotions! And I'm not even into dance like that!
What an amazing Tiny Desk. People aren’t taking enough about how amazing these artists are. Especially portraying such vulnerable content. This is what makes me feel so blessed to be a part of this industry! We are healing with art, it’s so beautiful.
How beautiful is it that we get to celebrate Alanis through Broadway. Incredible!
For anyone wondering, the lyrics are changed for some of them because this is the musical cast. (Ex: Uninvited is adapted for a character struggling with addiction)

Came for the name stayed for the great songs & good voices. So it’s a broadway show that sounds like it has a meaningful story & they changed a few words - sheesh NBD. It’s great to see that Alanas’ music is on Broadway, how cool is that! Hope it tours in Canada at some point.
Absolutely beautiful performances. I saw them live and they gave me goosebumps multiple times. Thank you Tiny Desk, I was looking for quality recordings !
Oh how I wish I was there! Gracias Tiny Desk for bringing us this amazing group of artists! WOW👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏼
LOVE Broadway & Tiny Desk collabs. More more more
Seeing this live is priceless telling you from personal experience
Wow!! Gorgeous voices with all their emotions poured in 🤩
Saw it twice in 2 weeks. A MUST SEE!!!!
amazing...one of my fav albums of all time....plus cool to hear the new tunes
They are really good and I think they just won a Grammy for this album. Congrats!! This was wonderful!
