Lizzie

Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

Rage! Sex! Betrayal! Bloody murder! In the heat of late summer 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife are found murdered in their house. The main suspect? Andrew's youngest daughter from a previous marriage: Lizzie Borden.

This all-woman musical sets American mythology to a searing rock score—complete with riffs on the historical record—to explore the heady and heated days leading up to the historical murder and Lizzie's controversial acquittal of all charges.
