		Weidman said children enjoy climbing on his sculptures and creating their own worlds around them, enjoying the physical sense of his art.

	Pacific Overtures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pacific Overtures was an ambitious 1976 musical by Stephen Sondheim, with a libretto by John Weidman, and additional material by Hugh Wheeler, set in 1853 Japan.
		Weidman wrote an underrated libretto, telling the massive story from the points of view of two Japanese men, a samurai and a fisherman.
		The title of the play is ironic, nodding toward "overture" as a musical form, and archly noting that the initiatives of the Western powers for commercial exploitation of the Pacific nation were anything but pacific overtures.

	Aisle Say (NY): ASSASSINS
		Well, this is more like it, and isn’t it interesting—the "it" being the groundswell of mainstream acceptance for the John Weidman/Stephen Sondheim musical "Assassins", whose subject matter, as advertised, is derived from the stories of successful and would-be presidential assassins.
		Those of you with good ears and an affinity for Sondheim’s musical gamesmanship will "note" that subtly, underneath a variegated palate, every tune in the score is based on a perversion of "Hail to the Chief." And it informs a darker American voice that will not be stilled.
		Weidman’s book, in which the various gun toters alternately play out scenes from their lives and intermingle with each other, unfettered by the logic of time and chronology.

		Weidman's credits include the 2000 dance-fantasy-comedy ``Contact,''; a new book for the 1987 revival of ``Anything Goes,''; and two other Sondheim shows: ``Assassins,''; featuring the killers and wannabe killers of U.S. presidents; and ``Bounce,'' about Wilson and Addison Mizner, which ran four weeks at the Kennedy Center in 2003.
		Weidman: Even after a show is open, you like to drop by every week or so to see what's going on.

		Weidman also co-authored the book for Lincoln Center Theater’s Tony Award-winning revival of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes and co-created the musical Contact (Tony nomination, Best Book), which won the 2000 Tony Award for Best Musical.
		Weidman is a past president of the Dramatists’ Guild of America.
		Director Sarah Shippobotham is quick to assert that in her production of Assassins, the attempt is to look at each “assassin” individually, “to find a sense of humanity” rather than glibly dismissing them as crazy, enraged or revengeful.

	The Sondheim Review - Rudins Affidavit
		At one point during the workshop Sondheim and Weidman themselves requested that the performances be cancelled because the play was incomplete - this despite the fact that the New York Theatre Workshop, the theatre in which the workshop was being held, had distributed all of the tickets to these performances to its subscribers.
		This conduct by Sondheim and Weidman conforms with the understanding among all of the parties that the negotiations for a final production agreement would recommence when the re-writing of the play was completed.
		If that was Sondheim and Weidman's view, their conduct was fraudulent in the extreme, and I certainly relied on that fraudulent conduct.

	Theater Review: Assassins
		In a genre mostly concerned with flashy choreography, expensive special effects, and saccharin plots and melodies, Stephen Sondheim is one of the few composers who continues to write musicals that treat an adult audience as adults, and challenge them to think and react in an active rather than passive manner.
		And only Sondheim and Weidman would be able to pull it off such that the result is a stirring and completely fascinating surreal tragicomedy as hilarious as it is chilling.
		Sondheim and Weidman's show doesn't glorify assassination by proposing it as a solution to one's problems, but rather shows us that something is dreadfully wrong with a country that has such a long and bloody history of assassins.

		Weidman's pieces have an allure that is sometimes an undetectable invitation to the viewer to become one with the work; to identify with the art so closely that there is no turning back.

	From Booth to Oswald, each assassin gets a spotlight Creepy and catchy songs carry low-budget 'Assassins'
		The notoriety of Jodie Foster-smitten John Hinckley still lingers, as does that of Charles Manson-besotted Squeaky Fromme and hapless Sara Jane Moore -- the would-be assassins of Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford.
		The song, which follows the Kennedy assassination, was added to provide a moment of shared grief and soften the shock of the depiction of Oswald's act.
		Based on an idea by Charles Gilbert Jr., Weidman's book and Sondheim's songs juxtapose nine of the 13 people who have tried to assassinate presidents, including the four who succeeded, without regard to chronology.

	Assassins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Weidman's book is structured as a sort of music hall entertainment, with the events framed by a sideshow setting in which a menacing Proprietor (Marc Kudisch) runs a carnival game inviting the various nefarious figures to "c'mon and shoot a president...you can get the prize." The rogues gallery includes eight would-be or successful assassins.
		The show is composed of a series of vaudeville-style sketches and numbers, ranging from the serious to the farcical, exploring the minds and motivations of the grotesque figures on display.
		But too often, Weidman's book is content to settle for easy laughs, as in such scenes as a lengthy encounter between a bumbling Fromme and Moore in which they bond while shooting a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

	Making bold, melodious 'Overtures' / East meets West in Sondheim musical
		The idea was largely that of original director Harold Prince, who brought in Sondheim to musicalize Weidman's play (his first), hired Hugh Wheeler to doctor the book and came up with the concept of a Kabuki musical.
		This is a musical about commercial diplomacy a century and a half ago, Commodore Perry's 1853 "pacific overtures" (backed by four gunboats) that opened imperial Japan to international trade after 250 years of self-imposed isolation.
		It works in large part because of Sondheim and Weidman's vivid focus on a few key incidents and skill in creating characters to embody them.

	Boston.com / A&E / Theater/Arts / REVIEW: 'Assassins' a gut-punch musical
		Thirteen years ago in its initial incarnation at off-Broadway's Playwrights Horizons, this creation of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman was an extraordinary, unsettling piece of musical theater.
		In "Assassins," Weidman and Sondheim present a cavalcade of misfits, the desperate and the disaffected who killed or tried to kill the president of the United States.
		Weidman's book follows a revuelike format as it travels along a disjointed path of American history.

		Whatever the reason, the Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical Assassins, which opened last month in a Broadway revival and quickly garnered a handful of Tony nominations, rarely leaves audiences on their feet cheering.
		Maybe, as America faces the consequences of its actions in foreign affairs and considers the future of the nation during the run up to a presidential election, the time is exactly right to ask the uncomfortable questions that Sondheim and librettist John Weidman pose in Assassins.
		John Hinckley and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme sing a heartfelt love song to the objects of their psychotic obsessions: Jodie Foster and Charles Manson, respectively.
