The U of A drama department is putting on a production of Assassins. It is a musical about assassins (or would-be assassins) of US presidents. I'm going to go see it on the 19th. You should come.

Loved that musical back when I was doing theatre, and still do today. And I so miss my copy of the soundtrack. Have fun going!

What about it makes it exceptional? I'm trying to figure out if I want to see it or not, and feedback from people who have is gold in that regard. :)

O.o?

...ok, you're on.

3 Great Reasons you should get off your ass and go see Assassins.
(As presented by a guy clean across the country that you've never met.)

1. It's Sondheim. The man who gave us both Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd (The musical. Ignore the piece of tripe masquerading as a film.) You should be on your knees, thanking the the good Lord Satan for the existence of such a writer every day of your life, and spend your hard-earned cash to go see any worthy production of any of his musicals. Go see the show.

2. It is local musical theatre- even in New York City, this is a rare animal, fragile, and often easily killed without public support to keep it going. Which means you should do your civic duty by spending a few dollars on tickets. Go see the show.

3. "The man who is unable to consume art is a poor poor man indeed. The man who is unwilling to consume Art is an idiot." -Dmitri Arbacauskas, 2009. Go see the show.

*laugh* I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes, "It's Sondheim!"
