By Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman

"Assassins" is a daring musical which portrays notorious historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate presidents of the United States.
The show reveals a chilling yet provocative reflection on ambition, violence and American ideals. A bold, unsettling, and darkly entertaining musical, "Assassins" asks: What does the pursuit of the American Dream look like from history's most infamous outcasts?
