    Karen Currie / Assassins - Original Cast Recording (1991) - Part II Jul 19, 2017
    Show notes

    Part II of our three-week ASSASSINS Extravaganza and we go through the second half of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical about the dark side of American History. Topics include: "Squeaky" Fromme, Sarah Jane Moore, John Hinkley, and is there such a thing as a sympathetic murderer?

    Disclaimer: ASSASSINS is a dark show that deals with dark themes, some of which you may find disturbing. Also the recording features numerous gunshots, some of which I have included in both episodes. If any of these things bother and/or trigger you, I will understand if you take a break and rejoin THE ORIGINAL CAST in August. I hope you enjoy this deep-dive into a show I consider to be one of the best musicals ever written.
