Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story has extended its run at the York Theatre for a third time, with tickets now on sale through July 30th.

Thrill Me, directed by Michael Rupert (Sweet Charity, Falsettos) and based on the infamous 1924 Leopold and Loeb murder case, opened at the York Theatre (at Saint Peter's Citigroup Center, 619 Lexington Avenue at 54th Street) on May 26th for a limited run. Lyricist/composer Stephen Dolginoff, who began his career as a musical theater actor, has taken over the role of Nathan Leopold for the extension period, while Doug Kreeger portrays his partner in crime, Richard Loeb.

The show recounts the tale of the legendary duo who committed one of the most infamous heinous crimes of the 20th Century. Set in 1924 Chicago, it chronicles the events that led childhood friends Leopold and Loeb to forever be remembered as "the thrill killers."
