A confessional stage play set to one of the most beloved catalogs in rock heads to Los Angeles this fall. Seven-time Grammy winner Alanis Morissette announced “Butterfly with a Machete,” a limited-run residency at YouTube Theater, the venue’s first. The shows run November 5, 6, 10, and 11, continuing the sold-out Las Vegas residency she staged in fall 2025.
Produced, performed, and co-written by Morissette, the show is a multimedia, multi-disciplinary musical stage play that blends her songs with storytelling, therapeutic insights, and an honest look at fame and trauma. It carries audiences through her own journey from Ottawa to the global stage, along with the highs and lows that followed.
As a cultural icon, Morissette has long embodied the intersection of emotional rawness and psychological depth, offering catharsis through song alongside a roadmap for self-realization and healing. No topic is off-limits, as she dives into some of the most harrowing moments of her life while shining a light on some of the most joyous, singing and performing what hurts, what heals, and what’s hidden and lost.
The residency, promoted by Live Nation, builds on a remarkable late-career stretch for one of the defining voices of her generation. It’s an intimate, unflinching show that turns a legendary songbook into something deeply personal.
