MURDER MUSICAL “Thrill Me” sets the story of the Leopold and Loeb murders to song. Stephen Dolginoff’s musical drama is set in 1924 Chicago, when two privileged childhood friends set out to commit the perfect crime. Believing that laws did not apply to those who approached Nietzsche’s “Superman,” they kidnapped and murdered a young boy walking home from school. Quickly apprehended, the pair were represented in court by Clarence Darrow and sentenced to life in prison. Matt Bauer and Doug Kreeger star in and Michael Rupert directs the York Theatre Company production. Through Saturday, June 25, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, 8 p.m., Wednesday, 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., Friday, 8:30 p.m., Saturday, 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Saint Peter’s, Citigroup Center, 619 Lexington Ave. at 54th Street, 212-868-4444, $55 general, $20 students on the day of the performance.
