Also featured are Jeffrey Kuhn as Giuseppe Zangara, Alexander Gemignani as John Hinkley. Marc Kudisch is also among the cast as the Proprietor with Becky Ann Baker as Sara Jane Moore and Mary Catherine Garrison as Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme.

Assassins has a book by John Weidman; Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Musical Direction by Paul Gemignani with music orchestrated by Michael Starobin. Directed by Joe Mantello; Musical Staging by Jonathan Butterell.
