LIZZIE by Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer, Tim Maner, and Alan Stevens Hewitt has been thrilling audiences and critics with its Victorian-Punk Rock retelling of the story of Lizzie Borden. On a sweltering summer
morning in 1892, in a small New England city, a prominent businessman and his wife were brutally axed to death in their home. Their daughter Lizzie Borden was the prime suspect. Lizzie's trial was a
coast-to-coast media sensation, and her story has become an American legend. LIZZIE is a new American musical based on equal parts history and mythology set to a blistering rock score - with a sound owing more to Bikini Kill, the Runaways, and Heart than to Sondheim and Andrew
Lloyd Webber. The production features four women fronting a six-piece rock band. MMT's production is Directed by Amy Rummenie with Music Direction by Umar Malik and Choreography by Abbi Fern.

LIZZIE will perform in the TEK BOX on the 2nd Floor of the Cowles Center, 528 Hennepin Ave. in Downtown Minneapolis.
