As impressive an ensemble as one could hope to hear
Broadway World
A uniformly excellent cast. This production has something pointed to say about the current overlap between politics, news, fame and entertainment. And it works. A brilliantly provocative piece

A triumphant reframing of Sondheim's musical. Polly Findlay's ultra-stylish production, magnificently staged. A super-size feast of a spectacle

Plays to See
A beautifully engineered weapon, which in the hands of Polly Findlay and her company of marksmen delivers a rifle-shot straight to the heart of American culture and politics. Head to Chichester – for outstanding musical theatre, Assassins is unmissable.
