Assassins

WEAVING TOGETHER DREAM-LIKE NARRATIVES OF THE ASSASSINATIONS AND ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS OF THE U.S. PRESIDENTS, SONDHEIM’S TONY AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL COMEDY BRINGS TO LIGHT THE PAIN OF ALIENATION, REGRET, AND ISOLATION THAT UNDERLIES EACH CHARACTER’S FAILURE TO ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM. THE NEW YORK TIMES HAILS “ASSASSINS” AS “AN EXTRAORDINARILY ORIGINAL PIECE OF THEATER,” AND THE LA TIMES SAYS “SONDHEIM’S KILLER MUSICAL COMEDY HITS THE MARK…SIDESPLITTING AND SOBERING IN EQUAL MEASURE, THIS IS THE MOST PROVOCATIVE MUSICAL IN YEARS.”
