  • In this ode to '70s-style love songs, John Hinckley, Jr. (Frederick Hagreen) and Squeaky Fromme (Laura Griffith) swear their devotion to their loves: Jodie Foster and Charles Manson. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.5thavenue.org/show/assassins
    About the show:
    Welcome to the carnival, where everybody has the right to be happy! In this tawdry carnival’s shooting gallery, you’ll find yourself in the company of some of the most notorious figures in American history-the assassins who tried (and in some cases succeeded) to kill the president. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, John Hinckley and others reveal the stories of their troubled lives and deadly deeds. Created by one of the undisputed masters of musical theater, Stephen Sondheim, this powerful work is by turns funny, dark, and haunting.
    This provocative musical directed by incoming ACT-A Contemporary Theatre Artistic Director John Langs is one musical that you won’t want to miss.

    It always floors me that if you hear this song out of context, you'd think it was a simple, heartfelt love ballad between a young couple named Jodie and Charlie. IN context, however...

      Look up John Barrowman’s version from a Sondheim concert. They take out the names using “my darling” in place it does become a genuine love song.

      When you DO know the context though, mostly it just makes me feel sadness for them. They're both lonely people whose world failed them. One of them is utterly isolated and the other taken advantage of mentally and emotionally. I love how the play has this sympathy for them while making sure not to absolve them.

    This production was PHENOMENAL and honestly would work great as a national tour. The staging, acting, and singing were just beyond amazing and top quality in every way. I seriously wish I could have a recording of it or just another way to watch it again...

    I was in a production of Assassins in the pit orchestra, I was 2nd Trumpet with my trumpet teacher. What a show. This especially was such a strange song. It's a beautiful love ballad until you know the full context.

    Lyrics:
    [HINCKLEY]
    I am nothing,
    You are wind and water and sky,
    Jodie.
    Tell me, Jodie,
    How I can earn you love.
    I would swim oceans,
    I would move mountains,
    I would do anything for you.
    What do you want me to do?
    I am unworthy of your love,
    Jodie, Jodie,
    Let me prove worthy of you love.
    Tell me how I can earn your love,
    Ste me free.
    How can I turn your love
    To me?
    [FROMME]
    I am nothing,
    You are wind and devil and God,
    Charlie​,
    Take my blood and my body
    For your love.
    Let me feel fire,
    Let me drink poison,
    Tell me to tear my heart in two,
    If that's what you want me to do...
    I am unworthy of you love,
    Charlie darlin',
    I have done nothing for your love.
    Let me be worthy of your love,
    Set me free-
    [HINCKLEY]
    I would come take you from you life...
    [FROMME]
    I would some take you from your cell...
    [HINCKLEY]
    You would be queen to me, not wife...
    [FROMME]
    I would crawl belly deep through hell...
    [HINCKLEY]
    Baby, I'd die for you...
    [FROMME]
    Baby, I'd die for you...
    [HINCKLEY]
    Even though-
    [FROMME]
    Even though-
    [HINCKLEY]
    I will always know:
    [FROMME]
    I will always know:
    [HINCKLEY]
    I am unworthy of
    [FROMME]
    I am unworthy of
    [HINCKLEY]
    Your love,
    [FROMME]
    Your love,
    [HINCKLEY]
    Jodie darlin',
    [FROMME]
    Charlie darlin',
    [BOTH]
    Let me worthy of your love.
    I'll find a way to earn your love,
    Wait and see.
    Then you will turn your love to me,
    Your love to me...

    I'm honestly here because of The Politician and I think that that version is better, but that's probably because they could do several takes and these people just had one.

      Yes, they're singing live and in character. They're not just there to sing polished and pretty but actually portraying characters here. Also, I found Platt flat and totally character-less. He wasn't giving Hinckley at all.
