SYNOPSIS

“It’s a crime scene. It’s a nightmare. It’s a bloodbath. It’s a fright… But it’s just us girls in the House of Borden.” We are excited to announce four nights of FUN and FURY in the ferocious, femme-fronted rock musical LIZZIE at Broadway Performance Hall (1625 Broadway), running September 27-October 5, 2024. 

In the dog days of 1892, Lizzie Borden took an ax…and, well, you know the rest. Muckraking journalists made her a bicoastal media sensation overnight. An all-out spectacle, the show’s provocative delivery oozes attitude and simmering tension with a kinetic urgency that hums under the surface. Using a gasoline-soaked rock score, and based on the historical record, LIZZIE explores the strange alchemy leading up to the murders, Lizzie’s controversial acquittal of all charges, and the creation of a new American myth.
