Just because theaters are closed doesn't mean performers can't produce new content. And that's precisely what Broadway's Jagged Little Pill plans to do. With the help of American Express, the cast and crew of the hit show will livestream a new event featuring Alanis Morissette.

On May 19 at 8 p.m., the livestream will feature performances from the cast and Alanis Morissette, as well as a Q&A, which will be moderated by a host. There will also be a charitable component to the event, encouraging viewers to donate to The Actors Fund. And there will be a special surprise for a frontline worker who is also a fan of the show.
“Led by our spiritual guide Alanis Morissette, the entire Jagged Little Pill family is excited to come together to share music and our musical's messages of joy, healing, resilience and gratitude,” said the show’s producers Vivek J. Tiwary, Arvind Ethan David and Eva Price in a statement. “We give immense thanks to AMEX for giving us the opportunity and for our cast and creative team for keeping the Jagged Little Spirit thriving during this trying time.”
