“Assassins” is not an easy show to perform in as Sondheim’s lyrics are in many cases, tongue twisters and his musical range can go from low to high notes in the same measure, but this cast handles it to perfection."

"The production is anchored by a trio of actors, starting with Kevin Webb as John Wilkes Booth. It’s almost shocking how much Webb looks as if he just stepped out of a mid-19th century daguerreotype. With a feverish affect that hints at both despair and grandiosity, he’s the corporeal embodiment of a tortured soul. The second lynchpin to “Assassins” is Sam Button-Harrison as the Balladeer, a narrator who eventually becomes a volatile part of the story he’s telling. Harrison reads a bit too innocent and idealistic to completely carry the depths of rage and unhappiness that define his end-game transition from narrator to killer, but he sounds terrific and radiates a charisma throughout. Also notable is Edward Fraim who brings an unsettlingly unhinged, impish appeal to Charles Guiteau, assassin of President James Garfield."

"The cast is strong, both vocally and in their characters, though, and that’s really what carries the day. Further, they commit to their characters with an energy and ferocity in Pacholski’s direction that pulls us in and keeps us engaged."

"Pacholski strips away much of the grandeur of his predecessors and gives an in-your-face look at psychosis of these various killers (and almost killers). This is an actor-centric production and succeeds on most every level."

"...fans of Assassins (and loyal Sondheim followers) will find much to enjoy in this production.."

"Kevin Webb is a divine John Wilkes Booth with great facial expressiveness. Sam Button-Harrison takes on the dual roles of the Balladeer who narrates portions of the story and then at the very end, deftly handles another three named character,Lee Harvey Oswald. One of the highlight performances for me was watching Edward Fraim take on the role of Charles Guiteau. Fraim has a strong voice and a super comedy sense. He brought this character to new heights ( at least for me)."
