Pico Playhouse (Los Angeles, CA)
Maybe the most controversial musical ever written, Assassins shoots to thrill and rarely misses. The great genius of the contemporary musical theater, creator of Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods and Company, the inimitable Stephen Sondheim leads audiences on a tuneful revue of Presidential assassins and would-be killers from John Wilkes Booth (target Abraham Lincoln) to John Hinckley (target Ronald Reagan). This darkly comic journey takes the form of a carnival game, where the sounds of each era accompany riveting portrayals of history’s most impassioned and deranged. Thought-provoking and darkly delightful, Assassins won five Tony in its first revival on Broadway. Now Red Blanket Productions presents a new production of this nightmarish roller-coaster ride and theatrical tour de force at The Pico Playhouse.
