After i watched the Tony Awards and saw the music number from Assasins, i knew this was going to be a great show for anyone to see. I didnt get tickets in time, But do you think that it might come back again? i hope it does.

Even if it does...it won't have Neil in it.

Never count a Sondheim show down and out for good.

it was great but.. I seriously doubt it, especially since it just closed - we're talkin' years in the future & by then there may even be (gulp) new assassins..

It's a shame that ASSASSINS has closed, but it was never intended to be an open ended run, so we're lucky it got extended until it did. I do think they should have followed through and played till the October extention, though.

I think they should have let it play the whole time as well. I think it will eventually be revived, in the far far future.

had it ran through October it would have played, almost, another hundred performances...

And I could have seen it a lot more times...

I think what it will mean is a surge in the amount of regional productions. Since it was able to succeed (somewhat) on broadway - it DID win the Tony after all - it will be an easier sell to the more conservative regional markets out there...I hope so, anyways - what a brilliant show.

Sondheim indicated in a recent interview that there will likely be a road production, though I can't imagine this show playing well in Murfreesboro.

As others said, if you want to see Assassins soon, you probably won't have to wait long before a good regional theater picks it up.

For anyone interested, the Sprit of Broadway theater in Norwich, CT is doing a production of Assassions in November. Here is the link:
