Stephen Sondheim talks about his early life and creative process with reference to his many award winning Broadway shows.
El musical está inspirado en una pintura de Georges Seurat y es uno de los trabajos más reconocidos de Stephen Sondheim. Ganando numerosos premios. Música y letra: Stephen Sondheim. Guion: James Lapine.
Dieses ungewöhnliche und experimentelle Musical ist eine Herausforderung an jedes Theater. Sondheims Stück wirft Fragen auf wie „Lässt sich mit dem kleinen Finger am Abzug die Welt verändern?“– und diskutiert kontroverse Antworten wie „Jeder hat das Recht auf seine Träume, auch ein Präsidentenattentäter“. Die Musik bewegt sich zwischen Ragtime, Folk und Rock der Siebzigerjahre. In diesem "Video Conversation Piece" geht es um Grundlagen und Entstehung der "Assassins". Details zum Stück findet man hier: http://www.musikundbuehne.de/nc/stuecksuche/detail/werk/zeigen/attentaeter.html. Mehr Infos und Ansichtsmaterial über http://www.musikundbuehne.de!

MRS. LOVETT:
(spoken) A customer!
Wait!
What's your rush? What's your hurry?
You gave me such a --
Fright, I thought you was a ghost!
Half a minute, can'tcher sit!
Sit you down, sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks!
Did you come here for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague --
Ugh! What is that?
But you think we had the plague!
From the way that people
Keep avoiding --
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
Ick!
But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?
Mind you, I can't hardly blame them!
These are probably the worst pies in London!
I know why nobody cares to take them,
I should know,
I make them,
But good? No!
The worst pies in London,
Even that's polite!
The worst pies in London,
If you doubt it, take a bite!
Is that just disgusting?
You have to concede it!
It's nothing but crusting!
Here, drink this, you'll need it!
The worst pies in London...
And no wonder with the price of meat
What it is
When you get it
Never
Thought I'd live to see the day
Men'd think it was a treat
Findin' poor
Animals
Wot are dyin' in the street!
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop!
Does a business but I notice something weird.
Lately all her neighbors' cats have disappeared!
Have to hand it to her --
Wot I calls
Enterprise
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
And I'm tellin' you, them pussycats is quick!
No denying times is hard, sir
Even harder than the worst pies in London!
Only lard and nothing more --
Is that just revolting,
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting,
And tastes like,
Well, pity
A woman alone,
With limited wind,
And the worst pies in London!
Ah, sir, times is hard,
