Now Morissette, 39, is working alongside Tom Kitt, who composed orchestrations and arrangements of Green Day's biggest hits for the Broadway tuner American Idiot, towards turning it into a musical with a workshop production scheduled for next year.
While no details about the plot have been released, the musical is intended to include the full tracklist of Jagged Little Pill, as well as other songs in Morissette's back catalogue and some original material.
"I look forward to taking the heart of Jagged Little Pill and expanding its story, fleshing it out into ever deeper layers of emotionality, specificity, humanity, power, physicality, spirit and fabulism," said Morissette in a statement.
The musical will be produced by Arvind Ethan David and Vivek J Tiwary, who described the album as "a triumph of self-expression – an album that was impossible to ignore with its massive sound and raw honesty."
The American Idiot producer continued: "We need more Broadway musicals with a serious, relatable emotional core and strong female voices. So we're looking forward to honouring the Jagged Little Pill legacy – while still surprising fans with some unexpected twists."
Morissette's co-writer on Jagged Little Pill, Glen Ballard, has already turned his hand to musical theatre, as one of the primary collaborators on Ghost: the Musical, which is currently on tour in the UK, following runs on Broadway and in the West End.
