Daring, unique, unsettling and surprisingly funny, this multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force may be the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical musical revue that examines the dark side of the American experience.

With a book by John Weidman, and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.
