You oughta know that Alanis Morissette is playing all of Jagged Little Pill in New York next month
Aux Features Music
The Jagged Little Pill musical is finally opening on Broadway in December, and to celebrate her rise to the same level as the Broadway visionaries in Green Day, Alanis Morissette has announced that she’ll be heading to New York’s Apollo Theater for a one-night-only acoustic performance of the entire Jagged Little Pill album that inspired the musical on December 2. After the concert portion, Morissette will hold a Q&A with writer and SiriusXM radio host Alan Light. This comes from Billboard, which says ticket presales already happened (sorry), but general sales for regular Morissette fans will begin on Friday. The musical (which comes from Diablo Cody), will premiere on December 5.
Also, while we’re here, the things described in the song are not technically ironic, but that does make it ironic that the song is called “Ironic,” which is a very smart thing you can say to your friends in the line for this show.

And I’m not in New York next month. Isn’t it ironic?
All I Really Want is to hop in a TARDIS to get there, but I’m Not The Doctor
No, no, I AM in NY next month, and that is ironic in the songiverse…I think
Depends. Are you currently in the presence of the man of your dreams and his beautiful wife?
Acoustic? You oughtta know that the heavy distortion from that album was some of my favorite parts of it.
Isn’t that song about the cross-eyed bear on that album?-d
Alanis. Always too hot. Never too cold.
Is there anything sadder than a musician trying to stay relevant with the only good thing they wrote 24 years ago?
I dunno… the Holocaust was pretty sad.
(edit) dammit, I made a holocaust joke again. I’m jewish, but it’s no excuse 🙂
True. It’s the musician thing and the Holocaust. Those are the two sad things.
I like more than a few of her other songs. I’d say this is the one album that works better as a whole, but there are songs I like in all of them, personally.
A sad sack on the internet shitting on someone who’s still doing what they love? That’s pretty sad.
There is. Someone who cries over someone playing their most popular songs for her fans.

I guess Harlem is now fully gentrified.
To truly commemorate and honor this seminal recording, I will attend with someone willing to go down on me in the theater.
Although I personally think her best work was on You Can’t Do That On Television, a lot of people want to see this album live…why doesn’t she just play it once a week in the theater on the night the musical is off?
