Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story is a new musical drama that recounts the chilling tale of the legendary duo who committed one of the most infamous and heinous crimes of the 20th Century. Set in 1924 Chicago, it chronicles the events that led childhood friends Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb to forever be remembered as “the thrill killers.” The play premiered at the 2003’s Midtown International Theatre Festival, produced by Jim Kierstead, to an extended and sold out run.

This musical by Stephen Dolginoff has a promising score but doesn’t quite live up to its title.
