The multiple Tony Award-winning ASSASSINS lays bare the lives of nine people who assassinated (or tried to assassinate) the President of the United States.
The nation’s most notorious assassins gather on stage to violently pursue a twisted American Dream… Stephen Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music combine in this bold, original, disturbing, and alarmingly funny musical.
Please note, this production contains strobe lighting and loud noises throughout. This show also contains adult content and strong language and may not be suitable for all ages.
ASSASSINS is based on an idea by Charles Gilbert Jr. Original orchestrations by Michael Starobin. Playwrights Horizons Inc., New York City produced ASSASSINS off-Broadway in 1990.
