Assassins (musical)

Assassins is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman[?] and was based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr. It uses a revue-like style to examine the men and women who have attempted and/or succeeded in assassinating a U.S. President.

Assassins opened off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons on January 27, 1991 and starred Victor Garber[?], Terrance Mann[?], Patrick Cassidy[?], Debra Monk, and Annie Golden[?]. The musical was supposed to have its first Broadway production in 2001, but the show was indefinitely postponed after the events of September 11, 2001.
