💥 About the Show

Assassins shines a spotlight on nine infamous individuals who attempted — and in some cases succeeded — in assassinating U.S. Presidents. This daring one-act “revusical” breaks the boundaries of time and place, uniting historical figures like John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald in a chillingly surreal narrative.

With Sondheim’s masterful score and Weidman’s compelling storytelling, this award-winning musical exposes the underbelly of the American Dream — examining fame, disillusionment, and the unsettling power of notoriety.

Expect a night of unforgettable music, thought-provoking themes, and bold performances that will challenge your view of history.
