LIZZIE: The Musical

LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL is an electrifying, wall-rattling, rock musical. It is a unique retelling of the saga of Lizzie Borden, who in 1892 was tried and acquitted of two murders in Fall River, Massachusetts. Her story, an infamous tale in American Folklore, has been the subject of many films, novels, and even a popular children’s jump rope jingle. The cult status of Lizzie Borden is such that the house where the Borden family lived and where the murders took place, has become one of the most popular “Haunted Bed and Breakfasts” in the country. While the innocence of Lizzie Borden has long been debated and no one was ever convicted of the murders, Lizzie Borden has consistently remained the main suspect.

PenArts, Pensacola's professional theatre company, along with the Foo Foo Festival 2024, is thrilled to bring the premiere of this powerful musical to Pensacola. It is a PG13 event.

In 1892, thirty-two year old Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Although she was tried and acquitted of the murder, she was always considered guilty and no other suspect was ever named. Lizzie Borden’s trial created much curiosity and has been compared to those of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and OJ Simpson.
