9 Assassins! 1 Killer Musical!
A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical musical from Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story / Gypsy / Sweeny Todd / Into The Woods), Assassins is the story about 9 individuals who over time have attempted to assassinate the President of the United States.
Opening in a traditional fairground, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
With a score that’s both catchy and chilling, the show takes a unique and unsettling look at the minds of those who would change the world, one bullet at a time.
Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, some have described Assassins as perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.
