Stephen Sondheim's Assassins Tickets

A darkly comic Tony-award winner that examines the motives of the nine notorious Americans who took their shot at the President of the United States, this wickedly subversive spectacle explores the national fixation on celebrity and its violent intersection with the American dream. "Assassins" is the 12th Sondheim musical mounted by East West Players in its 56-year history of producing theatre in Los Angeles.

"Assassins" will be directed by East West Players’ Producing Artistic Director Snehal Desai, with musical direction by Marc Macalintal and choreography by Jasmine Rafael and Preston Mui.

The cast of "Assassins" is headlined by Gedde Watanabe (Original Broadway Cast of Pacific Overtures, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and La Cage Aux Folles at East West Players) as Charles Guiteau, Joan Almedilla (Broadway national tour of The King And I, Donna Sheridan in East West Players’ Mamma Mia!) as Sara Jane Moore, and Adam Kaokept, making his East West Players debut, (Broadway: Miss Saigon Revival and Disney’s Aladdin Original Cast) as The Balladeer/Lee Harvey Oswald.

The creative team includes: Stephanie Lim (Dramaturg), David Murakami (Projections Designer), Stephanie Nguyen (Costume Designer), Anna Robinson (Scenic Designer), Wesley Charles Chew (Lighting Designer), Christian Lee and Cricket Myers (Sound Designers), Glenn Michael Baker (Property Designer), and Brandon Hong Cheng (Stage Manager).
