“Someone tell the story. Someone sing the song. Every now and then the country goes a little wrong. Every now and then a madman’s bound to come along. Doesn’t stop the story — story’s pretty strong. Doesn’t change the song…"

Assassins, a multi-Tony Award-winning theatrical masterpiece, blends Sondheim's brilliant lyrics and captivating music with a sweeping narrative that delves into America's obsession with fame and the extreme lengths some go to achieve it. This bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny musical gathers nine individuals, who either assassinated or attempted to assassinate U.S. Presidents, in a shooting gallery. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Assassins defies boundaries, creating a chilling journey where assassins from different eras converge, interact, and incite each other towards drastic actions in pursuit of a twisted vision of the American Dream. The Los Angeles Times calls Assassins, "sidesplitting and sobering in equal measure." The Associated Press states, "It's a brilliant show, filled with dark, demented humor."

WARNING:

Assassins contains mature themes, including depictions of violence, simulated gun use and gunshots, strong language, sexual assault, use of a racial slur, and references to real-life events. The musical explores complex and potentially sensitive topics such as mental illness, political extremism, and the motivations behind acts of violence. It is intended for a mature audience.
