pickLike so much of Sondheim‘s work - it only grows truer & more ubiquitous with time. It‘s shocking, really.
The fact that this show debuted after his arguably most commercially accessible musical (my fave - Into the Woods) shows the range this man offered us.
Maybe this libretto is a weird choice to crack into this weekend but its subject matter feels more relatable than ever in this divided nation mindset. 🤷🏻♀️
Now I need to look up clips from the original off-Bway cast bc Terry Mann? Victor Garber? Annie Golden? Phew.
Went to an amazing, stripped down performance of this tonight! It's such a complex, nuanced, funny, heartbreaking work. It's my favorite musical and even I was surprised by how moved I was. The cast was great, especially Steven Pasquale as John Wilkes Booth. And we're seeing it again tomorrow!
#FeistyFeb Oh man, I love theater. So much. And I am lucky enough to live in NY, so there's no shortage of interesting and great theater! I am especially partial to musicals. Stephen Sondheim is a personal hero and Assassins is my favorite musical. #AllTheWorldsAStage
