Part vaudeville extravaganza, part exposé and wholly electrifying, Assassins reveals uneasy truths about the American Dream. The story investigates the personalities behind nine individuals who attempted to assassinate a President of the United States. Hugely resonant in today’s celebrity-obsessed society, the story is peopled with desperate characters intent on making their mark.
Don’t miss this unforgettable musical exploring the thoughts, motives and madness of want-to-be killers.
Written by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman and Directed by Terrence J. Nolen
