BLOODY HELL! True crime punk rock musical Lizzie the Musical opens at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
Lizzie The Musical explores the life of Lizzie Borden, who was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe in the late summer of 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The musical delves into her complex psyche and speculates on the motivations she may have had: loss of inheritance, history of sexual abuse, oppression, and madness.
Lizzie, along with her older sister Emma, maid Bridget, and neighbour Alice, bring to life the infamous story supported on stage by an all-female band.
This new production will be the first UK built version of the show and the first UK tour.
The perfect show for any fan of true crime, horror and of course Musicals at Halloween!
The cast features three stars of ‘SIX’ the musical:
Lauren Drew, Maiya Quansah-Breed andShekinah McFarlane.
They are joined by Mairi Barclay, Ayesha Patel and Emma Louise Hoey.
