See it if Musicals and murder. Fast paced, rock score and amazing shows. It’s like if Six, Heathers and Spring Awakening had a child, this would be it
Don't see it if You like quiet shows
See it if You want to see an attempt of Six but with murder.
Don't see it if You want eardrums by the end of it (it was overbearingly loud more than normal)
See it if A good original musical, strong songs and performances
Don't see it if Slightly confusing at times.
See it if you like rock and loud music
Don't see it if you prefer a more laid back musical with bigger staging budget.
See it if You enjoy modern interpretations of women in history - It has Six and come from away vibes...with more murder!
Don't see it if You hate six, or pop punk musicals.
See it if You enjoy a great rock score with vocals for days. A quirky take on the Borden murders for lovers of true crime.
Don't see it if You don't like loud music, blood, fire and murder. Also, if you're looking for a tight, cohesive plot and narrative, this isn't it.
See it if You like rock music and dark subjects
Don't see it if You want something easy to watch
See it if You are a fan of Six or Heathers and like modern musicals. Also if you like catchy songs and slightly darker themes!
Don't see it if You don’t like dark themes or are a fan of more classic, older musicals.

“There’s a lot of potential for ‘Lizzie The Musical’ to be a major hit - its focus on true crime gives it a wide audience, while the sapphic romance puts a fresh spin on the story. The book and lyrics could do with some rewrites, the score with a little more variety, but there’s no denying that this production is an impressive feat.”

“Whelton’s production is a stylish and unquestionably bad-ass fusion of gig and musical. Musical director Honor Halford-MacLeod negotiates the uncompromising score to perfection, with a four-piece band veering confidently between the heady power ballads and full-on, soaring rock anthems that tell ‘Lizzie’s’ story.”

“It’s fun, frenetic, and stars four exceptional female talents at the top of their game.”

"Come for a handful of blistering sequences, four superb voices and Andrew Exeter’s pleasing set design, which has numerous pairs of conspiratorial pigeons beadily eyeing the action."

“There’s a lot to love here, it’s always great to see a queer story, a female-led show, and something different. The music is the highlight of the production, and the stellar cast is nothing short of exceptional. But there is some work to be done to ensure the story they wish to tell is clear, and for the show to have a cohesive feel, plus, it could be slightly darker and gritter.”

“Everything about ‘Lizzie’ was a dream, from the vocals to the acting to the simple yet effective set, the concert-style lighting, and, of course, the story itself...If you love true crime, strong women, rock and roll, musicals, love stories, and comedy, you’ll love ‘Lizzie’. How could you not? It’s a whacking good time.”

“ ‘LIZZIE’ has a fantastic cast with incredibly talented singers. Each gives a strong and impressive performance. The true crime musical is unique and absolutely captivating but could be even better with a few alterations. It’s a fun, killer night out where the energy is infectious and the atmosphere is electric.”
