Click here for a video compilation of the casts of multiple productions of Lizzie, all singing “House of Borden”. Several clips from the TCS production in October 2018 are included throughout!

Our 50th anniversary season starts with a musical based on the well-known murders that took place in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892.

On a sweltering summer morning in 1892, in a small New England city, a prominent businessman and his wife were brutally axed to death in their home. Their daughter Lizzie Borden was the prime suspect. Lizzie’s trial was a coast-to-coast media sensation, and her story has become an American legend. LIZZIE is four women fronting a six-piece rock band. LIZZIE is rage, sex, betrayal, and bloody murder. LIZZIE is American mythology set to a blistering rock score. LIZZIE is a new American musical with a sound owing less to Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber than to Bikini Kill, the Runaways, and Heart. To hear some of the amazing music that’s part of Lizzie: The Musical – Click Here. “A gothic rock ritual with a ‘riotgirl’ attitude… an eerie hybrid of rock club and a turn-of-the-century New England parlor.” – The New York Times

BE ADVISED – This production contains adult language, sexual situations, violence, and implied sexual abuse.
