What really happened inside the Borden house?

This fall, MST and BCMT unleash LIZZIE, the electrifying rock musical that reimagines the infamous Lizzie Borden case through the power of blistering guitars, soaring vocals, and an unapologetically feminist perspective. More riot grrrl rock concert than traditional musical, LIZZIE transforms one of America's most enduring legends into a visceral theatrical experience unlike anything audiences have seen.

Based on the historical events surrounding the 1892 murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, LIZZIE explores the days leading up to the shocking crime through the eyes of four women (Voni Kengla as Lizzie Borden, Jessica Tidd as Emma Borden, Tia Lempert as Alice Russell, and Ashley Moore as Bridget Sullivan), determined to tell their own story. With a thunderous rock score inspired by artists such as Heart, The Runaways, and Bikini Kill, the musical is a bold examination of abuse, repression, freedom, and female rage. The show has earned international acclaim, with productions in more than 100 theaters across 11 countries and multiple Best Musical awards.

"LIZZIE is a riot grrrl musical wrapped in a Victorian murder mystery," said director Patrick Nims. "It's about what happens when women refuse to be silenced. The music is exhilarating, the actors fearless, and the emotional impact is unforgettable."

Critics have praised LIZZIE for its explosive energy and unforgettable score. LIZZIE promises an evening of theatrical adrenaline that blurs the line between musical theatre and rock concert.
