But a strange thing happened to me as I watched Barack embark on his historic journey to the White House.

As Sondheim sees them, America’s Presidential assassins—there are nine, five of whom got their man—are a petty, volatile, and above all fame-hungry bunch, turning the American Dream back against the country that brought it into being. “Everybody’s got the right to their dreams,” goes the opening chorus.It’s a twisted, carnivalesque historical outlook that’s made visually literal by the set design...
