Sondheim's Assassins

Step right up and embark on this dark exploration of the American Dream through the brilliant collaboration between John Weidman and the incomparable Stephen Sondheim. Whether the motive was for political unrest, disillusionment, or perhaps a desire for infamy itself, these nine men and women shaped the course of history as they recount their attempts (and successes) to kill the President of the United States. The creator of such landmark shows as Into the Woods, Company, A Little Night Music, Follies and Sweeney Todd, Stephen Sondheim often stated that Assassins came closest to being his most "perfect" musical. This Tony Award-winning twisted tale is brought to life through the performances of local favorites Allan Snyder, Alex Noble and Zanny Laird alongside new talent hailing from across the U.S. making their Pittsburgh stage debuts!
