Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins"
Our nation's most notorious assassins gather on stage to violently pursue a twisted American Dream.
A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, "Assassins" combines Stephen Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, "Assassins" is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.

Editor's Note: Given recent acts of political violence, NJCU wishes to clarify that the 1990s musical ‘Assassins,’ scheduled for this fall, has been in development by The Center for the Arts at NJCU since spring 2025. The production examines difficult chapters in American history, and we approach it with care, responsibility, and respect for our community. NJCU unequivocally denounces violence in all its forms, including political violence, and hopes this work will serve as a catalyst for thoughtful reflection and dialogue.
