Musical

  • Colbert Bump: Lizzie got a big boost in notability once YouTuber Katherine Steele named it as one of her favorite underrated musicals. It's not uncommon to find comments on videos of the soundtrack saying that they're here because Kat recommended it.
  • Follow the Leader:
    • Lizzie takes a few cues from the Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar.
    • The musical Six has several similarities to Lizzie - notably framing a historical woman's life as a concert and offering a more sympathetic portrayal than history remembers. Six however is more inspired by 2000s pop Girl Groups, while Lizzie's influences are more punk and riot grrl music.
    • Hamilton's success caused lots more people to seek Lizzie out due to the unconventional style of music in both.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The show started off as a four-song experimental theatre/rock show hybrid, before evolving into its current form.
    • An Off-Broadway run was slated to happen in 2019, but had to be cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances".

Film

  • Fake Irish: Irish Bridget Sullivan is played by American/Australian Kristen Stewart.
  • Produced by Cast Member: ChloĆ« Sevigny co-produced the movie. Kristen Stewart said that Sevigny's name on the project was what made her want to do it more than anything else.
  • Queer Character, Queer Actor: Bridget, who falls in love with Lizzie, is played by bisexual Kristen Stewart.
