Train & Maintain Like The Pros
Go the distance
Alainis Morrisette has a new Broadway hit musical -Jagged Little Pill! Creative dream team includes Tony Award winning director Diane Paulus, Oscar Award winning writer Diablo Cody, arranger and orchestrator Tony Award winning composer Tom Kitt. This show is a triple threat tour de force requiring extreme emotional energy and skill.
As a Musical Director on Broadway, I'm constantly aware of singers technical needs. I recently sent three featured dancers in Jagged Little Pill to Diane; their technical improvement is astounding. They love working with her and speak highly of her wholistic approach to training.“I proudly teach three cast members, featured dancers Heather Lang, Ebony Williams and Kei Tsuruharatani. This show is a triple threat tour de force requiring extreme emotional energy and skill. I am thrilled to work with professionals of this caliber. They inspire and are willing to be inspired. Dedicated and disciplined, they are hungry and continue to develop their craft.”

New York Times review of "Jagged Little Pill":
…and the beautifully individualized chorus launches into the dances with inspiring kinetic bravery. (Whipping her hair and thrashing to the beat, Ebony Williams puts an extra r in riot grrrl.) Dancer-actor Heather Lang gets a couple of solo moments in two of the more vividly staged sequences—the reenactment of Bella’s rape, and in an overdose hallucination that sends Mary Jane over the edge.
In both scenes, the willowy yet muscular Lang is deployed as a body double, her lanky frame listing and crashing drunkenly at a party or tumbling over a couch in a pharmacological haze. When the music and the movement join in such abstract purity, you wish the creative team had slipped the shackles of narrative convention and feel-good resolution more, pushed deeper into the songs and their varied terrain of ambivalence, doubt, flirting with despair.
