Description
Evoking a fraternity of political assassins and would-be assassins across 100 years of our history, Sondheim and Weidman daringly read about good fortune, failure and the questionable drive for power and celebrity in American society. “Dark, demented humor, as horrifying as it’s hilarious.”–Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, who wrote lyrics for Gypsy, West Facet Story, among many others
John Weidman, collaborator, co-wrote up to date revival of “The rest Is going”, former author of National Lampoon, Sesame Street
