ABOUT THE SHOW

Jagged Little Pill, based on the Grammy Award winning album by Alanis Morissette, is a powerful rock musical that explores themes of identity, addiction, healing, and empowerment. At its heart is the Healy family, whose outwardly perfect lives begin to crack, revealing struggles that mirror the complexities of modern life.

With its chart topping hits and new songs by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, Jagged Little Pill is an emotional, high energy story of pain, growth, and catharsis.

TotoToo Theatre welcomes performers of every background, ability, and experience level. We will have opportunities for all types of performers. Some roles will be traditional musical theatre roles, but we are also assembling a dedicated dance ensemble and dedicated singers who will work the theatre to create an immersive live experience.

This production includes mature content relating to addiction, trauma, and sexual violence. Actors must be comfortable with scenes that contain sexual content and intimacy. All such material will be choreographed with sensitivity and handled in coordination with the stage/intimacy director to maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone involved.

MUSIC AUDITIONS

For auditions, our Music Director asks that you please prepare a 16–32 bar cut of sheet music. Contemporary rock, pop, or musical theatre selections are preferred. Songs from Jagged Little Pill are welcome, but please focus on showcasing your authentic voice rather than an impression of Alanis or the Broadway album —we’re excited to hear you.

Auditionees should provide legible sheet music in the correct key with the piano accompaniment included and the cuts (starting and ending points) clearly marked (lead sheets not accepted).
Please bring printed sheet music in a double-sided and hole punched format.
Auditionees are encouraged to send their sheet music to steve@tototoo.ca prior to their audition.
A professional piano accompanist will be provided at the audition.
No recordings, a capella auditions, or self-accompaniment will be permitted.

A NOTE FROM DIRECTOR LISA DUNN

“At its core, Jagged Little Pill is about honesty, empathy, and the courage to face ourselves. We are looking for performers who bring truth and emotional authenticity to every moment. Come ready to sing, move, and connect deeply with this story.”
