About the show

‘Everybody gets a shot’ 

Roll up! Roll up! And take a ride at the fun-est fair in town. Scream if you want to go faster. Grab a gun! Get the girl! Start a revolution!  

Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony Award-winning musical, directed by Rupert Goold, assembles some of the misfits who have attempted to assassinate the President and asks why so many people throughout American history have sought to give violence a voice.

Production supported by The Polonsky Foundation
