As Schrader states, "Mark Fulk and Angela Howard suggest that 'family' is ''Assassins''<nowiki/>' central metaphor, particularly noting that family is 'the central concept that binds the group of American assassins and would-be assassins.'"<ref name=":03" /><ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last1=Fulk|first1=Mark K.|last2=Howard|first2=Angela B.|date=2008-07-24|title=What we laugh about when we laugh about Stephen Sondheim's assassins|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03007769508591601|journal=Popular Music & Society|volume=19|issue=3|pages=105–123|language=en|doi=10.1080/03007769508591601}}</ref>

In the scene "November 22, 1963", the assassins join together in order to persuade Oswald to assassinate President John F. Kennedy while assuring him that he can "connect" to the other assassins.<ref name=":7" /> In addition, the assassins interact with each other despite coming from different time periods, in the scene "Ladies and Gentlemen a Toast", the scene "I Am a Terrifying and Imposing Figure", and the songs "Everybody's Got the Right", "Another National Anthem", and "Everybody's Got the Right (Reprise)".

Comparing the 1991 original production with other later versions, there is one song later added the musical, "Something Just Broke". This song is an assassin-free one, where five bystanders mourn the assassinated Presidents. These bystanders have different occupations and are in different timelines, yet are brought together by the assassination tragedies, indicating a sense of community among them.<ref name=":03" />
