“Lizzie — The Musical:”
“Lizzie Borden took an ax...” But in this case, “ax” is a reference to a guitar and Lizzie is a rock-and-roller in “Lizzie — The Musical,” a headbanging update of the famous true story of late 19thcentury Massachusetts double homicide. Presented by the New Moon Theatre Company and directed by Kell Christie, the play takes its musical influence from Bikini Kill, the Runaways and Heart, and stars Christina Hernandez as bloody Lizzie, leader of a four-woman rock band. 8 p.m. Friday and Satur-
day and 2 p.m. Sunday, TheatreWorks, 2085 Monroe. Tickets: $25 (adults), $20 (seniors and students). Call 901-4843487 or visit newmoontheatre.org. Wicked Ways Haunted House: The largest and most disturbing indoor haunted house in Memphis is back for 2018, bringing all new over-the-top action and ghastly butchery that won’t be believed. Operating Fridays through Sundays, and on Halloween night, Wicked Ways Haunted House is in New Arts District on Broad at 160 Cumberland St. Call (901) 515-6649 or go to wickedwayshauntedhouse.com. The Mid-South Maze: On Friday and Saturday nights in October, actors clad as ghostly apparitions haunt the herbaceous hallways of a spooky corn maze. A giant jumping pillow launches kids skyward and gently cushions their falls, the Haunted Hayride gives everyone the chills and a corn cannon fires ears of corn at targets up to 100 yards away. Located at the Agricenter International, 7777 Walnut Grove Road. Go to midsouthmaze.ticketleap.com/ hauntedmaze.
