Thaumatrope Theatre's production of Lizzie: The Musical was part musical, part rock concert, all killer, and no filler!

​

In this revisionist take on one of the most famous historical murder cases, Lizzie Borden is a lonely young woman under the thumb of an abusive father and indifferent stepmother. When she is pushed over the edge by an act of cruelty, Lizzie acts out in the only way she can. Anger, sexuality, and bloodlust share centre stage with a true rock score.

​

Thaumatrope Theatre teamed up with our friends at Crab Mentality to offer a deadly deal! On Saturday, April 29th, audiences could access both shows for one $20 ticket. Those that attended the double-header stepped into the chaotic world of a crab cult during a 2:00 matinee followed by a murderous musical about the lore and life of Lizzie Borden at 7:00.
