The Ballad of Booth – Assassins (with Eric Matthew Richardson)

The assassin pioneer is the first person investigated in the show. Eric Matthew Richardson returns to discuss John Wilkes Booth, how he changed America, how Sondheim adapts his story, and whether we should believe anything he sings about.
