<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=Normal1><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="COLOR: #333333; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">“Assassins, in fact, breaks ground the way no other musical has since, until recent Broadway productions Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and The Scottsboro Boys. Not everyone will like Assassins. It makes demands, pokes holes in comfortable notions of political integrity and belts you in the chops with its hard driving energy and clout. One of (Sondheim’s) most excoriating shows is Assassins, a dark, demonic look at American politics and the troubled wing-dings who assassinate, or at least attempt to cut down the nation’s Presidents.

A clear shot at the big time….the glitteringly dark musical by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman about Americans who dream of killing their country's presidents has finally made it to Broadway.
