Alanis Morissette Announces LA Residency

Seven-time Grammy Award-winning artist, musician and activist Alanis Morissette announces“Butterfly with a Machete,” a continuation of her sold-out Las Vegas residency from fall 2025. The limited-run shows Nov. 5,6,10 and 11, will be held at YouTube Theater in Los Angeles – the venue’s first residency.

The shows are produced, performed and co-written by Morissette. “Butterfly with a Machete” is a confessional and multimedia, multi-disciplinary musical stage play set to her music, blending her songs with storytelling, therapeutic insights and a honest look at fame and trauma. The show takes the audience through Morissette’s own journey from Ottawa to the global stage with the highs and lows that followed.

As a cultural icon, Morissette has long embodied the intersection of emotional rawness and philosophical and psychological depth, offering not only catharsis through song but also a roadmap for self-realization and relational healing, all of which are present via the stories she tells in this show. 

Like her songs, no topic is off-limits. Morissette dives deeply into some of the most harrowing moments of her life, while also shining a spotlight on some of the most joyous. She sings and performs what hurts, what heals and what’s hidden and lost.

Presales for the new dates begin June 15 at 7:00 AM local time via for Citi Cardmembers (Citi is the official card of the “Butterfly with a Machete” residency). The artist presale starts on June 16 at 10:00 AM/PT followed by the venue and Live Nation presales at noon local time. General on sale will begin June 17 at 10:00 AM local time.
