'Jagged Little Pill' producers said they are “deeply troubled” and will launch both an investigation and an external review of the production’s policies and procedures

Alanis Morissette, Diane Paulus and cast pose during the curtain call of the opening night of the broadway show"Jagged Little Pill" at Broadhurst Theatre on Dec. 5, 2019 in New York City.

According to the statement, the external firm Jay Hewlin and The Hewlin Group will investigate the “incident and the individuals involved.” The producers also announced they are immediately launching an external review of the show’s policies and procedures. The statement follows former cast member and non-binary actor Nora Schell alleging in a social media post mistreatment by stage management and other members of the show’s creative leadership, with Tony-nominated actress and fellow former cast member Celia Rose Gooding pointing to “harm to the trans and nonbinary community both onstage and off” as part of why she departed the production.

They describe instances of going “in and out of consciousness” and nearly losing their balance on stage — the result of their anemia caused by losing blood for over four weeks — during a rehearsal. It’s at this time they say it became clear creative leadership had not been made aware of the issue or prior attempts at communication by stage management.
