she chirps proudly.)

M.J.s husband, Steve (Sean Allan Krill), is a workaholic with a hardcore porn habit.

Jaggeds script is clever but not snide, quirky but not unrelatable.

Jagged Little Pill

‘Jagged Little Pill’.Matthew Murphy

Shes one salad away from a psychotic break.

I live for it.

And Jo has her own parental issues.

Especially not one of those obvious gays who wears performance fleece and utility sandals.

In the name of Fox News, Amen.

(Morissette is a very good sport.)

Interrupts one obnoxious student: Hold up, wait a second, thats actually not ironic?

Adds a pretentious one: Right?

No one, including Nick, did anything to intervene.

It is, however, nastily debated on social media.

You Oughta Know is also one of the few songs that sounds dynamite.

But the sound mixing at the Broadhurst Theatre is doing his work and Morissettes no favors.

Too often singers, especially Stanley, end up in a shouting match with the musicians.

(Spoiler: The orchestra will always win.)

Well, as a wise woman once said…you live, you learn.B
