This provocative winner of five Tony Awards in 2004 brings to the stage a (shooting) gallery of some of history's most notorious players - the men and women who have attempted to kill American presidents. Set to a stylish Stephen Sondheim score, Assassins explores the underbelly of the American Dream through the lives, loves, and lunacy of nine American assassins including John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme.
