Assassins

Fine Arts Center at Rowan
1400 Tanyard Road Sewell

Maybe the most controversial Broadway musical ever written, Assassins aims to thrill and doesn't miss. The great genius of contemporary musical theater, creator of Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods and Company, Stephen Sondheim leads audiences on a tuneful revue of presidential assassins and would-be killers, from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley. 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 Awards in its first revival on Broadway. Now the Sketch Club Players present a new staging of this theatrical tour de force at the Fine Arts Center at Rowan.
