⭐ LIZZIE – UK TOUR DATES & OFF-WEST END RUN ANNOUNCED ⭐
The UK tour dates & an Off-West End run have been announced for Hope Mill Theatre’s eagerly-anticipated new production of the punk rock musical LIZZIE.
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.
The show will premiere at Hope Mill Theatre from 1st – 30th September before touring to Dukes Lancaster from 5th – 8th October, Junction Goole from 12th – 14th October, Trinity Arts Centre from 17th – 21st October and New Theatre Peterborough from 6th – 16th December.
LIZZIE will also have an Off West run at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 26th October – 2nd December 2023.
Starring Lauren Drew as Lizzie, Maiya Quansah-Breed as Alice, Shekinah McFarlane as Emma, and Mairi Barclay as Bridget. Featuring Ayesha Patel as cover Bridget and Emma, and Emma Louise Hoey as cover Lizzie and Alice.
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.
LIZZIE has music by Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer and Alan Stevens Hewitt, lyrics by Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer and Tim Maner and a book by Tim Maner.
