Assassins

ACT
700 Union St. Seattle

Stephen Sondheim brings his sparkling talent to bear on the most grisly of subjects in Assassins. First performed in 1990, this Tony winning musical explores the lives of the men and women who attempted (sometimes successfully) to assassinate the President of the United States. The show takes the form of a musical revue, with Sondheim's score reflecting the different eras of each of the characters, from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinkley.
