Thanks for posting the review; I'm not sure I'm going to get to see it and I haven't seen many 'ordinary' reviews yet. I saw assassins in a college production, and have thus had the soundtrack since 1993, and yeah, the end just doesn't feel as accurate as the begining and middle.
The one thing I'd wished for this production was that they'd had the guts and structure to stage it at the Booth, because nothing would make Wilkes burn more than haing a show with him as a character *staged* at the place named for his brother.
Back when it played in dc - maybe in 94? 95? the Post equated JWB's fame with modern times, saying, "It's as if Brad Pitt killed a president." I don't think we really realise that, these days.
