Jul. 14 - Jul. 30, 2023
The award-winning LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL, with a score (music & lyrics) by Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer, Alan Stevens, and Tim Maner, is the story of the infamous Borden murders and trial of Lizzie Borden. Lizzie is American mythology set to a blistering rock score with a sound owing less to Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber than to Bikini Kill, The Runaways, and Heart.
The cast is comprised of four women portraying the Borden sisters, Lizzie & Emma, cook Bridget Sullivan, and housemaid Alice Russell.
A production of Doctuh Mistuh Productions and Haymaker Players
