Assassins returns!

What drives you to assassinate your President? Sondheim's 90s musical, Assassins, looks into the motives, passions and desperations of 9 Americans who attempted to assassinate the man in charge. Some failed, some succeeded but the main question is, why?

After opening off-Broadway in 1990, Sondheim's Assassins finally got the credit it was due in 2004 when it won 5 Tony Awards when it premiered on Broadway. Based off an idea by Charles Gilbert Jr, this dark and humorous musical review spans several musical genres and many decades in a dizzying whirl which finally comes to a halt with the most famous assassination of them all John F. Kennedy.

With hits like "Everybody's Got The Right" and "The Ballad of Booth" Assassins is back in London for a strictly limited three week run. The magic of Sondheim takes you on a rollercoaster through the dark, the bold and the hysterical, taking you into the minds of the people who made history by simply pulling the trigger.
