 Unique, innovative and disturbingly funny, this is probably one of the most controversial musicals ever written. Read a bit more about the real assassins, or a bit about the development of the musical. |
  There are two recordings of this show available, and they’re both wonderful in their own way. I really enjoy them both. Read my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. |
  I had hoped to see the Broadway production in 2001, with Douglas Sills, but that production was cancelled. 🙁 Luckily, the idea was revived, and the show finally had a Broadway opening in 2004, with a really amazing cast! Read more about my experience with the show. |
 There are some great roles in this show, and as a result, there have been some absolutely amazing actors to take them on – read some of my thoughts on just a few of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other Assassins websites that are out there. |
