Assassins - Blog Posts

i wish we’d gotten more dialogue between the assassins cause this shit is hilarious. they all hate each other so much lmao

A couple weeks ago, I found out that my university’s library has a copy of the original Assassins script book (1990). Tomorrow’s my last class of the year, so before I have to turn it in, I thought I’d pick some things out to share with y’all.

This is in the intro. Someone describing a moment in the depository scene that isn’t in the 2004 revival.

The character descriptions are just the descriptions of their assassination attempts.

Sorry, but Booth reading Variety is incredibly funny to me.

Just this whole bit. I love the way it’s written. Booth is trying very hard to ignore the Balladeer. The soldier getting shot is not in the revival.

In the 2004 revival, the Proprietor is the one who interrupts the song. In the original, Byck introduced the other national anthem. And while I can’t deny that I think the Proprietor is probably better suited to this solo, I think Byck is an interesting choice. It’s probably just a continuation of his monologue from the scene before, but still…

Terrifying.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: By the end of the depository scene, Booth is in the Balladeer's position. He represents the new American Dream, the other national anthem. Oswald is now in Booth's previous position as the group's pioneer.

Hinckley admires Oswald; that’s in line with his character. Moore is the first to bring up family; she’s a mother. But Czolgosz respects Oswald. Guiteau and Booth envy him. Interesting choices for the only other successful assassins. Czolgosz I get. Guiteau I get. But Booth, envious? Interesting.

This one needs no explanation. But I do think it’s worth mentioning that after all the talk of family, when Oswald pulls the trigger, he’s still alone.

Also from the intro. Thoughts on the assassins and Sondheim’s motivations.

It’s just a really good show, y’all.

Found out my university library has the book for Sondheim’s Assassins (1990), and checked it out immediately. There’s a bit in the depository scene where, after Lee Harvey Oswald shoots JFK, Booth takes his suicide note and burns it. This directly parallels the Ballad of Booth, where the Balladeer burns Booth’s suicide note after he shoots himself.

And I’m fucking LOSING it over the implication that Booth has replaced the Balladeer and Oswald is now in Booth’s previous position as “our pioneer.”

It’s a new American Dream, where any kid can grow up to be president, and any kid can grow up to kill one.

What would Ezio, Connor, Bayek and Eivor call people ? And Arno !?

edward would call everyone a twat

Please someone just tell me if a bootleg of Assassins with Aaron Tveit even exists

Of course in whole (not just clips of it)

“My name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered, "and I will not be afraid.”

The Assassin and the Empire, by Sarah J Maas

give me a female assassin.

but don‘t make her wear all-black leather jackets and boots. don’t make her all badass, cold, untouchable. don‘t make her hate love, friendship, feelings.

give her a pink t-shirt. give her a messy bun. give her pink lipgloss, blue eyeshadow, carefully done makeup. give her golden bracelets with gems, necklaces in the form of hearts.

make her blush when someone compliments her. make her giggle uncontrollably when she sees the person she likes. make her clumsy, affectionate, make her just like other girls.

and then make her kill in front of her crush and complain about the blood that got on her high heels.

So... I am not really sure how this works but I am just gonna say I am open to requests ... you can request anything involving these spicy babies
