Photo Flash: First Look at ASSASSINS at The Cranford Dramatic Club Theatre

The Cranford Dramatic Club Theatre in Cranford, NJ, presents Stephen Sondheim's haunting and topical musical ASSASSINS as its opening show of the 2016-2017 season. 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. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in character and in action below!
