Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

This thought provoking and intense musical lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience.

Full of complex characters whose lives we know mostly from the papers, ASSASSINS sheds light on dark historical moments.
