About This Show

Signature presents Assassins, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman. This 2004 Tony® Award winning show gives new meaning to the phrase “killer musical.” Take a captivating look at the lives, loves, and lunacy of nine infamous American assassins–from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald. With music ranging from folk to ragtime to big, Broadway ballads, this is one Sondheim’s most inventive and exquisitely scored shows. Bold, original, gripping and provocative, Assassins proves that “everybody’s got a right to their dreams.”
