Chicago Sun Times
“The greatest American musical since Sweeney Todd”

LIZZIE has swung her axe in over 100 Productions in 11 countries across 4 continents in 7 languages and has been honored with dozens of awards including 8 Best Musical Awards and she’s still swinging!
LIZZIE is four women fronting a six-piece rock band.  LIZZIE is Rage! Sex! Betrayal! BLOODY MURDER! LIZZIE is American mythology set to a blistering rock score with a sound owing less to Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber than to Bikini Kill, the Runaways, and Heart.
LIZZIE: The Studio Album is available here.

To license the show, please visit Broadway Licensing

Posted @withregram • @tso_montevallo Lizzie Borden ❤️🖤

Lizzie is damaged, twisted. She can turn on a dime from fragile, broken, meek and obedient to conniving, sinister, furious and terrifying. She is a wounded animal backed into a corner, terrified but enraged. We find her at the moment she realizes she has nothing to lose. She is transformed through an act of unspeakable transgression, turning her own historical infamy into an ascension to legend.

The University of Montevallo’s Theatre Student Organization presents “Lizzie” by Steven Cheslik-Demeyer, Alans Stevens Hewitt, & Tim Maner! 🪓

Show Dates:
April 22-23 at 7:30pm in the Alan and Lindsey Song Center for the Arts on the Rebecca J. Luke Stage in the Discover Shelby Theatre.

Posted @withregram • @jkl_costumes Lizzie the musical is a show I’ve wanted to design since I first heard of it. @lizziemusical

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the team and work with such a talented group of people- on all levels of production!

The costumes for this show are a mashup of 1892 fashions with 1990’s alternative styles- mainly punk and grunge. To achieve this, I kept the clothes in the 1892 silhouette but substituted the historical trims and materials for 1990’s contemporary flannel, denim, leather, grommets, zippers, buckles, and chains. I also used cameos and brooches of the 1890’s, but added them in a contemporary manner to the women’s flannel and denim jackets (reconstructed to resemble 1892 walking suits and Eaton jackets). All of these elements convey the time period to the audience, but also feel “at home” paired with music evocative of the Riot Grrrl movement and touches from the 1990’s counterculture fashion.

When I started drawing, I was listening to the soundtrack and realized I wanted to lean heavily into the style of Riot Grrrl ‘zines for my renderings. Making each rendering look like it’s own collage-style ‘zine cover complete with doodles related to each characters’ story.

Posted @withregram • @lizziemusical.barcelona La setmana passada gaudíem de la gala dels Premis de la Crítica ✨

Estem immensament agraïdes per les nominacions. Nosaltres som una companyia jove, formada per dones. I sentir que es fa espai per nosaltres i altres companyíes així, és una gran felicitat. Moltes gràcies.

Les Biaix us volem fer una promesa, que com moltes altres companyes valentes a les que admirem, seguirem omplint els escenaris de dones, d’identitats dissidents, de diversitat de cossos i d’històries. I també entre cametes, a la direcció, als instruments.

Ha arribat el moment de mirar més enllà del centre, de la ‘norma’, de donar veu a qui encara la busca. Els marges son rics i fèrtils i floreixen més i més cada dia. Estem disposades a seguir aprenent i qüestionar-ho tot, fins i tot a nosaltres mateixes, que parlem des del privilegi. Per un futur on l’art és de totes i per totes.

Llarga vida a LIZZIE! 🪓
