"...Assassins uses an incredibly witty Stephen Sondheim score and an interesting and intriguing, though not entirely successful, book by John Weidman to lay out details of the dreams and beliefs of nine would-be and successful presidential assassins. With a superb cast, perfect direction, and rich creative elements, Stray Cat Theatre presents a production of this not often seen musical that hits the bullseye...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"An amazing cast tackles Stephen Sondheim’s rarely produced musical “Assassins” with winning results in a well-sung, strongly acted, and well directed staging of this very unusual story. Playwright John Weidman and Sondheim, who was never afraid to produce musicals about subjects rarely presented as singing tales, gather characters from throughout American history who have desired to kill American presidents..." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"...By producing such an emotionally challenging production as ASSASSINS while fleshing out performances from his well-cast ensemble ..all portraying horrendous characters yet succeeding in retaining their humanity no matter how off-the-wall their nutcase values are, May has reaffirmed the value of live theatre...." - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
