I'll add my two cents as well - Sondheim is my favorite Broadway 
composer, & Assassins ranks up their with his best. Not only that, it 
even includes its own "filk" - the song dramatizing Guiseppe 
Zangara's attempt on FDR, "How I Saved Roosevelt" is mostly sung to 
the tune of John Philip Sousa's El Capitan.

I had the great and good fortune to see it staged about 10 years ago 
in Arlington VA.

Great job, Heidi on the Crouch/Wormtail duet over on the main list.
