Assassins

Music by Stephen Sondheim, Book by John Weidman
Directed by Shawn LaCount, Music Direction by José Delgado

“Mr. Sondheim’s astonishing score takes staples of American folk, pop and ceremonial music and turns them inside out…Listening, as sweet notes slide into dissonance, you may feel as if your own brain has slipped off the rails.” – New York Times

Just in time for the 2008 elections— Part vaudeville extravaganza, part exposé and wholly electrifying, this Tony-award winning musical reveals uneasy truths about the American Dream. An investigation into the personalities of nine individuals who attempted to assassinate a President of the United States.

ASSASSINS is Stephen Sondheim’s ode to the underbelly of American history.
