Historian, commentator, and actress Sarah Vowell introduced her 2005 analysis of the Lincoln, McKinley, and Garfield murders, Assassination Vacation, with a journey from New York City into New England to attend a performance of Assassins. Assassins was featured in episode 6 of Netflix's The Politician. In the show, they are performing in a school production of the musical, which parallels events occurring in their own lives. The episode included a cover of "Unworthy of Your Love", sung by Ben Platt and Zoey Deutch. Awards and nominations Original Off-Broadway production Original London production Original Broadway production Although Assassins had not run on Broadway prior to 2004, the 1992 London production and 1991 Off-Broadway production led to a ruling by the Tony Awards Administration Committee that the musical is a revival instead of an original musical. 2014 Off-West End production 2021 Off-Broadway Revival Recordings Recordings of both the Off-Broadway production and the 2004 revival were released. The original Off-Broadway version lacks the song 'Something Just Broke', which was added to the show for the subsequent London production. The 1990 recording does however include the full 11-minute spoken-word climactic scene 'November 22, 1963'. The 2004 Broadway recording adds 'Something Just Broke' and several dialogues sections but only includes the second half of the 'November 1963' scene. While the original Off-Broadway production used just three musicians, the 1990 cast album was fully orchestrated by Michael Starobin, with 33 musicians directed by Paul Gemignani. The 2021 Off-Broadway revival received its own cast recording on March 18, 2022, making it the third English language recording of the show. It includes the full score, and features the actor-musician cast members playing their respective instruments.
