About this listen

She took an axe—or did she? In this chillingly captivating episode, we sit down with the writer and creator of Borden: A New Musical, a bold new take on the life, legend, and legacy of Lizzie Borden. Known for the infamous 1892 axe murders and the haunted house that still bears her name, Lizzie’s story has fascinated and horrified for generations. But what makes her tale ripe for the stage? We dive into what inspired the musical, how it separates itself from previous adaptations like Lizzie, and how the creative team has approached such a dark, complex figure through music and storytelling. Plus, we get the inside scoop on an exclusive song preview happening August 2nd—inside the actual Borden House.
