Broadway Fave Aaron Tveit to Make a Killing in London's Assassins

Broadway favorite and Hollywood hottie Aaron Tveit is crossing the Pond to star in the Menier Chocolate Factory’s production of Assassins! Directed by Jamie Lloyd, the Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman musical will run from November 21 through March 7, 2015. Opening night is set for December 1.

Tveit made his Broadway debut as Link Larkin in Hairspray in 2006 and later appeared in Wicked, Next to Normal and Catch Me If You Can. Screen credits include Graceland and the Les Miz movie. This will be his U.K. stage debut.

Featuring a score by Sondheim and a book by Weidman, Assassins is a revue-style musical that examines the people throughout American history who have attempted, whether successfully or not, to assassinate the president of the United States. The cast will now also include Stewart Clarke, Harry Morrison and Jamie Parker, along with the previously announced Carly Bawden, Simon Lipkin, Mike McShane, Andy Nyman, David Roberts and Catherine Tate.
