The full cast is now set for Classic Stage Company's upcoming revival of Assassins. As previously reported, the musical by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, directed by John Doyle, will begin at the Off-Broadway venue April 2.
Rounding out the company are newly announced Eddie Cooper (CSC's The Cradle Will Rock)as The Proprietor, as well as ensemble members Brad Giovanine, Bianca Horn, Whit K. Lee, Rob Morrison, Zell Steele Morrow, and Katrina Yaukey.
Additionally, the staging will now run through June 7 instead of the previously announced May 17 (tickets for the added performances will go on sale March 10). Opening night is set for April 16.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
