I think it is funny that CMU is doing a production of Assassins soon and it perfectly aligns after this official reunion. Even though I am not assigned on run crew for the production, I would still enjoy attending the live-stream. I actually had a conversation the other day about Sondheim musicals, Assassins obviously included in that category, and my general love/hate relationship with his shows. I have never seen or listened to all of Assassins but I remember it being in the first season of The Politician on Netflix. To be completely fair, they did not go very in depth into it but from what I saw, it seemed interesting. I am a big fan of history so seeing characters like John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald on stage is kind of captivating. I know their stories and I would like to see how they are portrayed and how the actors imagine them.
