Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Book by John Weideman Based on an idea by Charlies Gilbert Jr. Playwright Horizons, Inc – New York City produced Assassins Off-Broadway in 1990 Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia). All performance materials supplied by Hal Leonard Australia Presented by Hills Musical Company Inc in association with Stirling Community Theatre Directors: Monique Hapgood & Macintyre Howie Reeves Musical Director: Andrew Groch From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Assassins is a topical and multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, offering insight into the motivations and desires of those wanting to be winners in a world where they feel ignored. Stephen Sonheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story explores the many varied and unusual ways that these outsiders assasinated (or attempted) an American President. In a time when the news is filled with discussions on gun laws and free speech, we realise that we all may be seeking the same thing – change!
