ABOUT THE SHOW
A darkly humorous musical that reminds us that not all American dreams should come true.
With the American dream out of reach, nine of the most notorious figures in our nation’s history ignite a chain of monumental nightmares.
The white picket fence is set on fire in Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s tragically funny and unnerving musical which peers inside the shattered minds of successful and attempted presidential assassins from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley, Jr.
This gallery of historical misfits jolts us into their blurry points of view with unapologetic humor, fiery anthems, carefree tunes, and unbridled energy that boldly blurs the lines between ambition and madness.
