Blond, square-jawed dad (Sean Allan Krill) works so many billable hours at the law firm that he barely knows his family. But at least the show’s got Lauren Patten, of “Fun Home” noteworthiness, as a teenager in love with Gooding’s Frankie. Morissette’s songs, with contributions by Glen Ballard (and “additional music” by Michael Farrell and Guy Sigsworth) all feel of a piece. As to whether they have anything to say about uptight rich people in a button-down corner of Connecticut, I am — as with so much of “Jagged Little Pill” — unconvinced. Jagged Little Pill, music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, lyrics by Morissette, book by Diablo Cody.
