Lauren Drew (SIX, Legally Blonde) will play Lizzie, Maiya Quansah-Breed (SIX, Rent) is Alice, Shekinah McFarlane (SIX, Parade) will play Emma, and Mairi Barclay (Pippin, Mother Goose) will take the role of Bridget.
LIZZIE explores the life of Lizzie Borden, who was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe in the late summer of 1892.
The punk rock musical, which premiered in New York in 2009, delves into Lizzie’s 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.
Produced by Hope Mill Theatre, featuring direction & choreography by William Whelton, set & lighting design by Andrew Exeter, musical supervision by Katy Richardson, with associate choreographer Yandass Ndlovu and casting by Pearson Casting CDG CDA CSA.
