Let's all observe a moment of silence to mourn the loss of Assassins, which fires is final blanks tonight at 9:55pm.

I will miss you.

A favorite line:
"I am a terrifying and imposing figure!" - Denis O'Hare (Charles Guiteau)

"Sondheim alluded to a possible tour in a recent Bloomberg interview, saying "A big producing company I cannot name believes there's an audience for it. If they can make it work financially, they will tour it. We'll hear very soon." Production spokespersons could not confirm any information."

Will do. So sad that a great show like this is closing.

At least you got to see it. I had a whole trip planned to see it before its original closing date in September and I am, to say the least, gutted.

From a purely marketing POV, given the anger with Bush right now over Iraq, the marketing of this would be reallly tricky. But not impossible.

let's hope that a tour can be worked out! I'm truly saddened by the closing of this fine show.

One of my favorite lines:

"I didn't come here to shoot the President."
-"He didn't come here to get shot."

We will miss you.

Such a shame! Absolutely loved the show!

"First of all when you've a gun...(points gun at audience; silence....) everybody pays attention.

I'm really gonna miss ASSASSINS. Thankfully the OBCR is coming out soon.

Iflit mentioned my favorite line. ( Darn). Does anyone have any idea when the OBCR will be out?

It is scheduled for release on 8/3.

[Plum]

Posted: 7/18/04 at 6:02pm

Britt, I think you just mentioned my favorite part. The dead silence as Guiteau swings the gun around is a perfect theatrical moment. And O'Hare was just brilliant.

Oh, man, I'm getting depressed. Only one performance left.

I'm glad I got to see the show. Too bad most people couldn't get past the subject matter.

[Jamie Hat]

Posted: 7/18/04 at 7:12pm

I wouldn't say most people couldn't get past it, just some.

"Have you considered shooting Franklin Roosevelt?"

Enough that it's closing.
