Lizzie Borden, but make it a jukebox musical

the true crime that's worth your time

The crime
The unsolved murders of Andrew and Abby Borden by repeated blows to the head in their Fall River, Massachusetts home on August 4th, 1892. 

The story
It’s Lizzie Borden as you have never seen her! In folk meta jukebox musical form! No, this isn’t Lizzie the Musical from 2009, or the Fall River Legend ballet first performed in 1948, and no it doesn’t feature “Lizzie Borden,” the 1962 hit folk song recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio (sample lyric: “No, you can't chop your poppa up in Massachusetts/ Massachusetts is a far cry from New York”).
