The producers of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill: The Musical, which was slated to debut in Australia from September, have announced the postponement of the Australian premiere as a result of the current COVID-19 situation in Greater Sydney and NSW, and uncertainty about future gathering and movement restrictions affecting the operation of theatres.
The show’s producers say the health, safety and wellbeing of staff, performers, crew and audiences is paramount, and they respect the NSW Health advice and Public Health Orders in place due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The producers are working to reschedule rehearsals and performances and new season dates will be announced as soon as they are confirmed. All ticket holders will be notified directly regarding rescheduled performances.
Torben Brookman, on behalf of the producers, said “The decision to delay the Australian Premiere of JAGGED LITTLE PILL was not taken lightly. The COVID pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have caused havoc in the live entertainment industry in Australia. JAGGED LITTLE PILL will directly engage over 100 performers, musicians and crew, consequently we are tirelessly working to minimise the impact of the delay on the production to get those talented people back to work and audiences back to enjoying live theatre as soon as possible.
“We thank the audiences and fans of JAGGED LITTLE PILL for their support and look forward to confirming new season dates as soon as possible.”
