Our nation's most notorious assassins gather on stage to violently pursue a twisted American Dream.
"Everybody's got the right to be happy"
A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps 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 "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, 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 inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
Show Dates: October 31st- November 10th, 2024
Please Note: Performances happen the weekend before and after 2024 Presidential Elections.
Performance Locations: The Hive Collaborative in Saint Paul and Northern Starz Center for the Performing Arts
Assassins the Musical will be directed by Kolie Shaw. Please reach out with any questions to [email protected]
