The Keegan Theatre is pleased to announce the cast and team of Lizzie<\/em>, the ferocious punk-rock musical that reimagines the infamous 1892 axe murder as a visceral, unapologetic thrill ride, playing October 31-November 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m so honored to be directing Lizzie<\/em> for Keegan Theatre,\u201d remarks Director and Choreographer Jennifer J. Hopkins. \u201cIt\u2019s a story about dangerous women, or perhaps the consequences that result in denying them agency. Our production shares a version of Lizzie\u2019s story that exudes the struggle for power with rock music only survivors \u2013 and this wildly talented, powerhouse cast of performers \u2013 can generate. I invite audiences to come discover why Lizzie\u2019s story still resonates today, and to experience the roller coaster of caution and collision.”<\/p>\n\n\n
