Congratulations to PattenLauren, whose show-stopping performance in jaggedmusical just earned her one of the show’s 15 Tony nominations.

Maridelis Morales Rosado for W Magazine, Diane Paulus, and an ensemble of triple-threats, Morissette has reimagined the iconic record for Broadway. A jukebox musical about the trials and tribulations of an average American family living in 2019, the show begins with a focus on Mary Jane, a suburban mother of two teenagers, and quickly expands to include the rest of the small town Connecticut community, including her daughter Frankie's quasi-girlfriend, Jo, played by Lauren Patten.

—but Jo is the first character she will originate on the stage. The 27-year-old actress has been with the project since the very first reading in May 2017."I just fell in love with it from the beginning," she said."I fell in love with Jo, I fell in love with working with Diablo. We clicked right away. I just knew I wanted to do the show forever."

Patten, who grew up in suburban Chicago, started acting as a kid in community theater productions."I always sang and loved singing, but my first love was really plays," she said."I lived and breathed theater. I wanted to tell stories on stage. That’s all I wanted to do."Pursuing that ambition, she bounced between Chicago and Los Angeles as a teen and did a quick stint in New York."I went to NYU for a year and then I couldn’t afford it so I left.
