This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to John Hinkley, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster 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.

We couldn't have asked for a better A.S.M /gun moll on "Assassins", Nora -- you were a joy to work with and have backstage with us (witnessing all of the craziness -- except for me mooning Matt, that is) -- thank you SO much for all you did on the show. I am so glad we met and shared a few smiles and laughs. You rock - BIG time. ~Tom
