Evoking a fraternity of political assassins and would-be assassins across a hundred years of our history, Sondheim and Weidman daringly examine success, failure and the questionable drive for power and celebrity in American society. Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press called it “Dark, demented humor, as horrifying as it is hilarious. It’s not very often that a musical is written to explore presidential assassins & would-be assassins. Sondheim’s piece is thought-provoking and brilliant.”
