Thrill Me - The Leopold and Loeb Story
Book, Music & Lyrics by Stephen Dolginoff
​​
relationships can be murder...
​
To mark 15 years since its London Premier, Thrill Me returns in this bold new production, with its gripping, intimate musical retelling of the infamous Leopold and Loeb case.
​
In 1924 Chicago, two brilliant young men — bound by desire, ego and a secret pact — spiral from petty crimes into an audacious act that shocked the world. As Nathan Leopold relives his intoxicating, manipulative bond with Richard Loeb, the audience is pulled into a tense psychological duel where seduction blurs with control and ambition turns monstrous.
​​​
With its taut, atmospheric score and razor‑sharp storytelling, Thrill Me has captivated audiences across the globe, earning critical acclaim from New York to London, Seoul to Sydney. Celebrated for its intensity, elegance, and haunting emotional power, this two‑hander musical remains as provocative and compelling today as the true crime that inspired it a century ago.
​​
“A dark, resonant miniature… taut and chilling.”
The New York Times​​
​
“Electrifying score that never loosens its grip.”
Sydney, Australia ​
“A phenomenon… audiences return again and again for its intensity.”
Seoul, South Korea​
“Thrill me is thrilling indeed.”
