Alanis Morissette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill is making its way to Broadway.

The show -- which is expected to launch in 2014 -- is from the guy who adapted Green Day's American Idiot for the stage, Tom Kitt, as well as American Idiot producer Vivek J. Tiwary and producer Arvind Ethan David.

"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," Morissette said of her aims for the show.

She continued, "I look forward to collaborating with Vivek and Tom and our whole inspiring team to create something greater than the sum of our parts."

Added producer David, "Alanis' songs have always uniquely combined narrative clarity with dramatic power-- bringing them to the Broadway stage feels like bringing them home."

Something tells us the show won't be centered around one girl's struggle to figure out how to use the word "ironic" correctly, but here's hoping!
