I have never heard of this, but isn't that what John Wilkes Booth said? The picture looks interesting.. especially the man in the Santa suit.

It is what John Wilkes Booth said. The musical has music and lyrics by Stephan Sondheim and it's about the men and women who attempted to assassinate president's. It's got some great word play and some great songs. Also, alot of great Broadway singers have been apart of one cast or another.

I've heard some songs from it, but have yet to get the whole soundtrack. I want to get it soon, though, because I've LOVED all that I've heard!
Add me please!

Sure thing, I somehow knew you'd be by seeing as you love Sondhiem. What is your name again, I'm forgotten. If you feel like dl'ing some songs if you haven't already try The Gun Song and Unworthy of You Love.

I saw this show a few years ago at a local theatre company, and loved it. It's great to just see all these assassinations from their perspective and the music is great, too!

It's a daring musical because the people aren't exactly likeable but like much of Steven's work...that's what sets it apart.

You should watch it if you get a chance. I believe there are some clips of the most recent revival online with Neil Patrick Harris and Michael Cerveris...I'll try to track some of that down.

I've seen some of the variations of this online. It does seem to be interesting.
