ASSASSINS is based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.
Playwrights Horizons, Inc. – New York City Produced ASSASSINS Off-Broadway in 1990
Orchestrations by MICHAEL STAROBIN

This darkly comedic musical has been made extremely current after Sondheim’s passing and the timing of our production – as the political machinery of yet another Presidential election is ramping up. Assassins is a scathing indictment of the “American Dream”, and the alienation that comes from its impossible pursuit. In a world where discontent simmers in the American psyche, we examine nine hauntingly complicated protagonists as they attempt to convince us that all you have to do is “shoot to win”.
