Assassins the Musical at Center Stage Theater

A journey through the dark side of the American dream, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony-winning musical Assassins explores the lives of nine men and women who either killed (or tried to kill) one of the Presidents of the United States. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald and beyond, the stories of our country’s most successful and would-be assassins intersect in unexpected ways, creating a powerful, unnerving look at some of the most shocking moments in US history.

“This is a musical with a deep, warning sense of something frighteningly wrong in the fabric of the United States — a nation where, as the song goes, 'Something just broke.'" –The New York Times

Please note: This production contains mature themes, including depictions of violence, simulated gun use and gunshots, strong language, use of a racial slur, and references to real-life events.
