COMING UP NEXT WEEK…

Jagged Little Pill                     

Oct. 13 – 15               

TCU Place        $45 – $120

Her music was my first taste of teen angst in the 90s and now the music of Alaniz Morrisette has been turned into a rock musical that’s touring the country. This is not just some jukebox musical as it deals with issues of consent, drug addiction and gender identity. The story follows a family that on the surface looks happy but each has a secret they’ve been hiding and it’s eating them up inside. This is a show that wowed audiences on Broadway and now you have a chance to see it on tour. Tickets are $45 – $120.

Nothing Ironic about this show, find out more HERE.
