Perhaps the most controversial piece of musical theatre ever written, Assassins is a fantasia on the darker recesses of the "American dream." In moments both true and imagined, this musical looks at the four successful and five would-be assassins of Presidents of the United States. Together, John Weidman and Stephen Sondheim have crafted an evening of provocative, intelligent, and surprising theatre that turns on a dime between shocking pathos and biting humor. This groundbreaking work sheds a blinding light on the lengths to which some are willing to go in pursuit of their slice of happiness.
