"The work of Stephen Sondheim has a transformative power," says New Rep Artistic Director, Jim Petosa. "His skill in bringing to life intriguingly complex characters through music and lyrics is unmatched in contemporary musical theatre. That is no more apparent than in his explosive and controversial musical ASSASSINS. Intertwining the lives of American history's most notorious killers and would-be killers, Sondheim takes us on a journey into the psyche of these men and women and allows us a glimpse at what motivates them to seek immortality through violence."

"Over the past 30 years, New Rep has had the pleasure to produce several musicals from the prolific composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim," says New Rep Managing Director, Harriet Sheets. "His work is lively, imaginative, and thought-provoking in a way that New Rep audiences have always enjoyed. ASSASSINS may be the quintessential example of that type of work as it presents the lives of these infamous criminals in the less-than-ordinary setting of a musical."
