"An Immigrant on Broadway" - Arvind Ethan David
Eight years ago, Arvind Ethan David started two journeys: To bring Alanis Morisette’s "Jagged Little Pill" to Broadway and to become an American citizen. Arvind tells the story of how the two journeys became intertwined, and how the immigrant imperatives of understanding tribe, money and power in one's new home can be applied to both journeys. He also gives an immigrant’s perspective on how the Broadway community can become more diverse, tell more stories and bring more people into the fold. Arvind Ethan David is a producer and writer of films, television, comics and theater. He is currently a lead producer on the Jagged Little Pill musical, based on the album by Alanis Morissette. Additionally, he is the producer of legendary British comedian David Baddiel and Erran Baron Cohen’s The Infidel – The Musical, based on their hit film of the same name, for which he also wrote additional lyrics.
