Assassins
Book by John Weidman
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
April 25 - May 24, 2008
Bold, original, surreal, disturbing,
thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, Assassins is
perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. This
most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals
who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of
the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that
explores the dark side of the American experience. From John
Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John
Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us
on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and
would-be assassins from different historical periods meet,
interact and in an intense final scene, inspire each other
to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
