This farcical domestic comedy features arranged marriages, dowries, feuding sisters, tangled circumstances, banishment to convents, and misdirected romantic aspirations. Inspired in part by Hogarth's painting series "Marriage-a-la-Mode," it lives as a musical bridge between Mozart and Rossini, with lyrical melodies...

      05/04/12- 05/10/12	Assassins Boston University Theatre, Mainstage Assassins Presented by Boston University College of Fine Arts at Boston University Theatre, Mainstage May 4-May 10, 2012 Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by John Weidman; Jim Petosa, director; Matthew Stern, music director. The legendary Sondheim explores the hearts and minds that fill the gallery of America's most famous assassins, including John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, in a stunning satire of the anarchic political violence that tragically persists at the core of our culture. As the culminating event in the College's year-long examination of the theme of violence, Assassins brims with a...
