About the musical: ASSASSINS is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman, based on an original concept by Charles Gilbert, Jr. Using the framing device of an all-American, yet sinister, carnival game, the semi-revue portrays a group of historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate Presidents of the United States and explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country. The score is written to reflect both popular music of the various depicted eras and a broader tradition of “patriotic” American music.
Audition information: Please prepare no more than 32 bars that best show off your vocal abilities and bring sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. No acapella auditions will be accepted. There may be readings from the script, and there
will be no dance/movement call.
