"...This is all neatly framed and accented by a circuslike atmosphere, which director Julianne Donelle keeps at a modulated pitch throughout, with outstanding management of her large cast."

"...As I watched this sparkling, cleverly bare-bones revival unfold, I wondered if during the time between writing my review and it appearing online some new horrendous assault on our society would be perpetrated, making the relevancy of "Assassins" even more apparent. Before I could hit "send," six people were killed in Wisconsin by a deranged Army vet. "Move your little finger," the twisted killers darkly surmise in Sondheim and Weidman's ever-topical musical, "and you can change the world.""

"...The cast is terrific in the Coeurage Theatre Company's revival of Assassins at the Actors Circle Theatre-and it is their commitment to the material that highlights both the strengths and weaknesses in this rarely performed Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical."

"...A terrifically performed and imaginatively directed revival of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Assassins makes it three annual musical hits in a row for the young artists of Coeurage Theatre Company, following their inventive downscaling of The Rocky Horror Show and Ovation winner Gregory Nabours' original song cycle The Trouble With Words."

"...The Coeurage theater is tiny and admission is pay-what-you-can, so any NRA concerns shouldn't prevent this show from selling out. Julianne Donelle's cast is superb, carefully walking the line between character and caricature."

"...Coeurage Theatre Company's production of Assassins is dark, funny, and often unsettling, but it hits its mark in surreal solidarity by meeting the demands of the provocative material head-on."
