About Assassins: Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. This most American of musicals plays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the Untied States in an historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, the authors bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and in an intense final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
