Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. The show is currently running at Manatee Performing Arts Center, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

To bring fresh new meaning to a play is a virtue, to do it to a musical score is sacrilege.  But why?
