Description "Assassins" the most American of musicals, lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States. It explores the murky side of American experience from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American dream.
