The other "assassins'' are each memorable and memorably played: Zachary Schwartz as the tormented Leon Czolgosz, William McKinley's assassin; Elijah Davis as ailing Giuseppe Zangara, Franklin D. Roosevelt's would-be killer; a dementedly hilarious James Carrey as Samuel Byck, the man who wanted to fly a plane into Richard Nixon's White House; Philip de la Cal as the delusional Charles Guiteau, who murdered James Garfield; Clay Cartland as the Jodie Foster-loving John Hinckley, the guy who tried to take out Ronald Reagan; a beautifully matched Kaitlyn O'Neill as inept Sara Jane Moore and Christina Groom as Charles Mason follower Squeaky Fromme, lunatics who failed to kill Gerald Ford.

The major performers, ensemble and a three-piece offstage band do more than merely navigate their way through Sondheim's tricky score. A real highlight of the show, creepy though it may be, is "Unworthy of Your Love," a the duet sung by Groom and Cartland to the objects of their obsessive affection.Slow Burn is still, it should be noted, performing in a high school auditorium in far west Boca Raton -- not the ideal setting for a new company with its ambitions. But once this rarely produced "Assassins" begins, those surroundings fade fast as you enter a world that remains chillingly resonant.
