⭐ STEPHEN SONDHEIM & JOHN WEIDMAN’S ASSASSINS REVIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE ⭐
A brand new revival of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony Award-winning biting musical Assassins has been announced for Chichester Festival Theatre.
A surreal carnival. And a group of people who have one thing in common: they want to assassinate the President of the United States. Some succeed, some fail. But there’s a prize for them all: a place in the history books.
John Wilkes Booth. Lee Harvey Oswald. Leon Czolgosz. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme. John Hinckley. Charles Guiteau. Sara Jane Moore. Giuseppe Zangara. Samuel Byck. Men and women whose fervour took them to the very edge.
The cast includes Amy Booth-Steel (Tammy Faye) as Moore, Luke Brady (The Prince of Egypt) as Zangara, Carly Mercedes Dyer (Olivier Award nominee and WhatsOnStage Award winner for Anything Goes) as Fromme, Harry Hepple (Hamilton) as Guiteau, Nick Holder (The Threepenny Opera) as Byck, Danny Mac (Pretty Woman The Musical) as Booth, Sam Oladeinde (Come From Away) as Czolgosz and Jack Shalloo (Girl From The North Country) as Hinckley.
Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony Award-winning biting musical comedy takes us on a daring, time-bending journey through American history.
Sondheim was a giant of musical theatre, celebrated for his inventive sophistication. His landmark works also include Company, Follies and Sweeney Todd. Weidman’s work includes two further collaborations with Sondheim, Road Show and Pacific Overtures.
Director Polly Findlay’s recent productions include White Noise and A Number (Bridge Theatre), and Beginning and Middle (National Theatre).
Assasins will play Chichester Festival Theatre, running from 3rd – 24th June 2023.
