'Jagged Little Pill' becomes a musical -- and a metaphor
Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill,” released in 1995, became the angry and raw soundtrack of a generation. Now, the Grammy-winning album -- which sold 33 million copies -- is the basis of a musical that just opened on Broadway. During the show’s initial Boston run, special correspondent Jared Bowen explored how Morissette’s music accompanies the story of a contemporary family's unraveling.
