"Assassins"

"Assassins": Sondheim's Killer Musical Comedy

The great genius of contemporary musical theater, creator of "Sweeney Todd", "Into the Woods" and "Company", Stephen Sondheim leads audiences on a tuneful revue of presidential assassins and would-be killers from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley. This darkly comic journey takes the form of a carnival game, where the sounds of each era accompany riveting portrayals of history's most impassioned and deranged. Thought-provoking and darkly delightful, "Assassins" won five Tony Awards in its first revival on Broadway. See the theatrical tour-de-force at the New York City Center.
