This 2004 Tony winner gives new meaning to the phrase "killer muscial." Assassins provides a wildly-comic, captivating look at the lives, loves and lunacy of nine infamous American assassins - from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald to John Hinkley Jr. - who attempted, successfully or not, to claim the lives of American Presidents. One of the most innovative musicals in years, Sondheim's score ranges from folk to ragtime to big Broadway ballads. Bold, gripping and provocative, Assassins proves that "Everybody's Got the Right" to their dreams.

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by John Weidman
Directed by Joe Calarco
