Assassins

Fountain Hills Theater
11445 N. Saguaro Blvd Fountain Hills

Musical genius Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods) takes you on a tuneful tour of the lives of nine presidential assassins and would-be killers, ranging from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley. This darkly comic journey takes the form of a grisly carnival game, compelling audiences to consider the part our celebrity culture plays in creating these destructive personalities, while Sondheim's score reflects a variety of uniquely American genres, from folk to ragtime and beyond. Thought-provoking and darkly delightful, Assassins won five Tony Awards in its first revival on Broadway. Now this theatrical tour de force comes to the stage courtesy of the Fountain Hills Theater.
