Almost Two Decades After Tony-Winning Broadway Run 2 days ago See All Add us as a Google Preferred Source Comments One of my long-time pet peeves about live music is that there isn’t enough talking during concerts. Lest I sound completely insane, as opposed to only partially insane, I should note straight away that I don’t mean talking among audience members — an eternal aggravation that will forever separate the drunks from the non-drunks in any crowd — but performers taking time-outs to speak from the heart from the stage.

Surely I’m in a distinct minority here; “more talk, less rock” is not going to be taken up as a demand by the masses any time soon. But given the choice between an opening act or an elongated headlining set in which the star lets his or her hair down with some personal monologues, a lot of stans might side with me in preferring the latter.

All of which is to say that Alanis Morissette ‘s current “Butterfly With a Machete” mini-residency at the L.A.-area YouTube Theater was right up my admittedly peculiar alley. It might be up yours, too, if you are Alanis-indulgent enough to eagerly take to a show in which the performer spends a good deal of time standing at a whiteboard, explaining her theories about the patriarchy and Highly Sensitive People and human emotional development.

Or bringing out actors to do sketches about her history with abusive men, music executives (with some overlap between those two), medical and psychiatric doctors, fiercely demanding parents and the ups and downs of perimenopause. And telling some pretty good jokes.

And, yes, singing the living hell out of “Uninvited.” Which, at some point along the way in these last 31 yearss, became Morissette’s most popular song. But also, hearing it live, who could argue?

There are 25 songs lovingly strewn throughout “Butterfly With a Machete,” so it’s not like any of the music anyone would hear in a standard Morissette show has been sacrificed for the sake of spoken solipsism. Nine of them are from “Jagged Little Pill,” which is probably all a fair-weather fan needs to hear to pick up a pair of tickets, knowing that there’s fair representation of one of the greatest pop debut albums of all time (not to mention the score for an actual Broadway musical of the same name).

It’s just that the interstitial material does bring things around closer to the three-hour point than the two-. It’s not a perfect show — if there were any aims to give this a shot at being, say, a limited Broadway residency, we’d have notes — but it’s never for a minute dull.

And it provides a model for what you could imagine a lot more artists of Alanis’ ilk attempting someday, given a little bit of introspective ostentation and courage. Morissette has a reputation, rightly o
