ASSASSINS Music & Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM Book by JOHN WEIDMAN ASSASSINS is based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr. Playwrights Horizons, Inc. - New York City Produced ASSASSINS Off-Broadway in 1990 Orchestrations by Michael Starobin
directed by Óran Matheson musical director Joy Giuseffi produced by Lou Okell
Senior Citizen Preview on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 8PM Shows Feb. 13 - March 7 on Friday & Saturday at 8PM and Sunday at 2PM ASL interpreted shows are planned for Sunday 2/22 & Friday 2/27.
A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.
Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
STARRING: Steven Taliaferro, Matt Austin, Jason Styka, Sean Latasa, Pedro Couy, Emma Burke-Covitz, Tanya Wills, Eric Lewin, Izzy Porter, Emma Duffy, Angie Joachim, Erin Shaughnessy Homberg, Susan Chapin, Ellis Bell, Paul Mayer, RJ Knippel, Shawn Brown, Barry Schilmeister, and introducing Lazarus Bell as Billy
