About Assassins
Assassins asks why so many people throughout American history have sought to give violence a voice. Set in a fairground and presented in the style of a revue, one by one, we delve into the stories of those who tried to murder a president through a song adjusted to reflect the century in which the crime took place. We explore the motives of people like John Wilkes, who assassinated President Lincoln, and Giuseppe Zangara, who attempted to kill President Roosevelt in pursuit of fame, power and recognition.
The musical made its Off-Broadway debut in 1990, and although it initially received many mixed and negative reviews, the Broadway production in 2004 was more successful. The production, staged at Studio 54, won five Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. Assassins was last staged in London at Menier Chocolate Factory ten years later in 2014, where it was directed by Jamie Lloyd and starred Catherine Tate and Aaron Tveit. A popular revival at the Chichester Festival Theatre played in 2023.
