In Jagged Little Pill, a record album gets its own jukebox musical, though there’s none of the Wikipedia-style rat-a-tat biographical highlights (airbrushed or otherwise) that accompanied Don…
begins with one of those much-derided Christmas letters that put a forced smile on the year just passed. Writing it is soccer mom without the soccer Mary Jane Healy , who shares with friends the accomplishments of her fellow Healys.
Audience members with even a slight storytelling literacy and grasp of cultural tropes will know, before Mary Jane gets to the end of that letter, that the picture-perfect family has a big, ol’ skeleton hanging in a closet . What some might not expect is that Cody’s impulse toward excess gives each and every Healy a skeleton or two of his or her own, weighting the musical enough issues to leave even the wokest among us dizzy from all the virtues being signaled.
That’s a lot of plot. The opioid crisis, rape culture, sexual identity, racial identity, porn, academic pressure, online bullying, cultural appropriation, interracial adoption, suburban conformity, identity politics, #MeToo, white privilege, frat boy misogyny and SoulCycling, each get a going-over, few getting the deep look and lasting consequence they deserve.
