The groundbreaking musical "Assassins" by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman investigates the personalities of nine men and women who killed or attempted to kill eight US Presidents.
These Presidential assassins are never glorified or celebrated, but presented by Sondheim and Weidman as an exploration of how and why each of these outsiders stopped and altered history.
The show is entertaining yet thought-provoking, and at times hilarious, jolting and heart-wrenching, as the history of these men and women unfurls across (and often without regard to) time.
