Lizzie is a high-octane, guitar-fueled rock opera that reimagines the infamous 1892 double murder case of Lizzie Borden through a fierce, contemporary lens. Powered by a blistering four-woman cast, the show transforms a historical true-crime mystery into a raucous concert experience, tracing Lizzie’s journey from a repressed young woman enduring family trauma to a legendary axe-wielding figure. With an explosive, driving score that blends intense rock-and-roll anthems with dark, gothic humor, Lizzie explores themes of sisterhood, rage, and liberation. A wildly entertaining psychological thriller that breathes new, rebellious life into an American myth.

Performances: 

Fridays at 7:30 pm; Saturdays at 7:30 pm (with two Saturday matiness at 2 pm on September 26th and October 10th) and Sunday matinees at 2 pm.
