Press on Assassins

“Brazier's production for Birdland Theatre and Talk Is Free Theatre may be dishevelled here and there, but it is an absolutely delirious theatrical experience.”

**** Four Stars (out of 4), J. Kelly Nestruck,

The Globe and Mail

“This production of Assassins is a sharp-edged treat from start to finish. Miss it at your peril.”

**** Four Stars (out of 4), John Terauds, The Toronto Star

 

“If you love musical theatre and somehow manage to miss this show, you just might feel like shooting

yourself.” ***** Five Stars (out of 5), John Coulbourne, The Toronto Sun

 

“A killer musical show.” Robert Cushman, The National Post  

 

“Listeners, I am on my knees begging you to see this show. It’s theatre at its best – controversial, provocative, disturbing, and yes, entertaining.”

Paula Citron, Classical 96.3 FM

"This production is one for the books. Years from now people will separate themselves as haves and have nots. That would be those who have seen this Toronto Assassins — and those who just wish they had."

Gary Smith, The Hamilton Spectator
