Did Old Maid Lizzie Borden kill her father and stepmother in 1892? *Lizzie: The Musical* offers a rock (and roll) answer in the show now playing at the Beck Center in collaboration with Baldwin Wallace University. No one knows. Lizzie is not a detective mystery, but instead a screaming plunge into evil in Fall River, Massachusetts. Using tools available — gossip, witnesses, testimony — officials conducted a thorough investigation. However, this story unfolded in pre-DNA days. The one sure fact is that Mr. and Mrs. Borden were brutally murdered in their home. (Strange thing: everyone complained of an upset stomach several days before and Lizzie had purchased rat poison early that same week.) Only Lizzie and the victims will ever know the truth. But never mind. It is rock music we are here for. And we get it. Director Victoria Bussert, with her trademark gusto, allows the four dynamic female leads to do abundant screaming. A few lyric pieces (“Sweet Little Sister”) offer welcome contrast, but major angst suffered by all four characters soon offsets peaceful moments.
