Assassins Goes Wrong

This is a Niche ass Crossover, but I started to think about what if Cornley did Assassins and here we are. Not entirely sure about all these castings so think of it as a rushed rough draft and give me your ideas on how Cornley Assassins should be cast.

Chris- Balladeer/Lee Harvey Oswald

Robert- John Wilkes Booth/The Proprietor

I think these two are the most obvious casts to me, like we got the ongoing rivalry and the two “leading actors” fighting for attention. Like it reflects their real life dynamic to a T and I think their scenes would be so fun to watch.

Max- Samuel Byck

Weird cast but hear me out. I think Max has it in him. Like to add to the goes wrong factor I think Max attempting to be gruff would be hilarious but I also think he could legitimately do the more emotional parts and draw in the audience. As well as god knows he would break during his monologues and that would be funny af.

Dennis- Giuseppe Zangara

Dennis as Zangara to me would be hilarious cause he would also be bad at foreign languages to me. That’s my only reasoning, I feel like it would fit and if we’re casting based on if it went right who would do a good job, I feel like Zangara would be the easiest role for Dennis to not fuck up? Though I know he would.

Jonathan- John Hinkley Jr.

Idk, something about the man who cheated being the lovestruck assassin would be funny to me and if he didn’t make it on for Unworthy of your love, then Vanessa would have to do it all by herself and that would be fun.

Sandra- Charles J. Guiteau

Sandra being the most showy of the Assassins would be fun. Like I feel like she could act and sing this obnoxious little man, though Max Guiteau could also be fun.

Annie- Sara Jane Moore

Annie would be perfect in this role. I feel like she has the comedic chops for Sara and could very much pull her off.

Vanessa- Lynette Fromme

I want more Vanessa + Annie scenes so that’s what we’ve got. I think in a goes wrong sense her trying to be crazy would create some good comedy. Though you could switch her and Sandra for Fromme.

Lucy- Leon Czolgosz

Kinda left field casting but that’s where I ended up. But I do think Lucy could pull him off if given the chance, though she would be tormented by Robert a lot for Comedy’s sake.

Overall, I’m still unsure about this casting but I love the idea of copious amounts of gun fuckups in Cornley Assassins. Like the amount of times gunshots needed is a lot and those would get so messed up. And god knows they would mess up the Sondheim music. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
