| it's hardly off-topic to imagine how Sondheim & Weidman might have musicalized yesterday's horror. True. But given the design of the show, I also don't see how they would have been able to fit it in well. All the presidential assassins (or would-be assassins) except for Oswald are part of the show from the beginning. Oswald gets held back for the most pivotal scene near the end. And no matter the events yesterday, it's hard to imagine that this 20-year old kid on the roof will ever get that kind of recognition - so it's hard to see how he would fit into the show. Unless he just got a mention along with Bremer, Sirhan, and Ray. But again, really the answer is that the writers never considered this to be a comprehensive or final documentary on all American assassination. |
