LIZZIE: The Musical

In 1892, Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother. Testimonies were muddled, evidence was incomplete, and Lizzie was acquitted. LIZZIE: The Musical delves into the mysterious mind of Lizzie and speculates on the motivations she may have had. By her side are her older sister Emma, their maid Bridget, and their neighbor Alice. The four women sing a punk rock score to tell the story of why “Lizzie Borden took an axe…”
