You can hear 4 pieces of dialogue from the show on the Revival soundtrack...The track called "I'm a terrifiying and imposing figure..."
is a scene where Guiteau tries to kiss Sarah Jane Moore and is refused comes before 'Charlie' goes off to shoot Garfield. |

The script is also available on amazon.
On a tangent, Amazon does not offer the sheet music. Does anyone know where that might be found? |

Is the scrip a paperback book with the original 1991 poster on it?If so,i've got it on my wish list! | ||

yeah it is...
*side note* Assassins has by FAR one of the strongest books of any musical I've ever encountered. Its an entity that can stand on its own, with or without Sondheim's excellent score. -CAM(eron) |

ASSASSINS Book
I think it's a great book when considered as a part of the musical, but it would just be a series of sketches without Sondheim's score. Granted, this suits the revue-like structure of Assassins, but I don't think the book would stand on it's own if you removed the songs and let it play like that. The score is ultimately what ties the sketches together. Later days David |
