A carnival ride through the history of political violence, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s 1990 musical Assassins looks right into the heart of American anger, providing sensational showstoppers for a gallery of U.S. presidential assassins ranging from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald to Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme. 

Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, Assassins offers an uncanny vision of where we are today, where we might be going, and whether everybody really has the right to their dreams.
