After a three-year delay, Guggenheim Entertainment presents their highly anticipated production of the Tony-winning musical, ASSASSINS at 3Below Theaters in Downtown San Jose.
ASSASSINS brings to the stage a gallery of history’s most notorious figures—from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, nine presidential assassins—both successful and would-be—inspire each other to pull the trigger and change their worlds. This powerful yet unnervingly funny production examines some of the most shocking moments in US history. With a stylish score by Stephen Sondheim and a provocative book by John Weidman, ASSASSINS explores the lives, loves, and lunacy of these individuals, bending the rules of time and space to create a nightmarish roller coaster ride where assassins from different eras meet, interact, and inspire each other to harrowing acts in pursuit of the American Dream. Serious yet satirical, the musical asks what hunger drove these people to their actions and what binds them together.
A theatrical tour-de-force, ASSASSINS combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will employ to achieve it. Bold, original, disturbing, and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS stands as perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.
