I have loved this musical since high school - You should get "Don't stop the carnival". Jimmy Buffett has done great work. Island Fever is a great song!

I am sorry to hear that the show is closing on Broadway. I hope that academic and community theaters will rediscover the wonder of the musical and keep it alive. If anyone hears of auditions for a cross-cast 1776, please let me know as I long to be John
Adams.

Awesome page! I love history & 1776, though I've only seen the movie version (a zillion times!) I visited Stephan Hopkins' house last summer & found out that he actually didn't drink all the time-at least not until business was over. My fav quote: "In
cred-i-ble!"

I saw 1776 in New York and I did not like it the first time because I was too far back in the theater and I am going to see it for the second time and I hope my seats will be better and If they are I will like it more . I just learned about the Revolution
ry War and the signing of the Decloration of Independence. I also just did a history report on Recherd Henery Lee. I also saw the movie and the people in the movie can't sing so I liked the musical better.

Ifirst heard about 1776 shortly after the original production opened on Broadway. A friend in New York sent me the OBC album as soon as it came out and it "blew me away" on the first hearing ( the overture is just great as are the orchestrations).
I wrote to composer Sherman Edwards shortly thereafter and he was kind enough to send me a Playbill, souvineer brochure plus some personal photo's. 1776 remains in my top 10 musicals. It's a great show!

OH MY GOD!! I'm so jazzed to find this site!! I thought I was the only one with my affliction!
I first saw the movie in the fifth grade during history class. I loved it so much that I obtained a tape of the Original Cast Recording and played it as often as I could. Unfortunately, as the years went by, this tape disappeared. I never really though
about it much until recently. I took a trip to the theater district one weekend a couple of months ago with friends, and when I saw the advertisements for the revival, I was suddenly reminded of what I had put aside several years before. I went back to
school with 1776 on the brain, suddenly depressed that I no longer had that old tape. Finally, I broke down and bought a CD of the Original Cast recording. For the final weeks of my spring semester, my roomate and all my friends were subjected to 1776 p
etty much everyday. When I came home for the summer, I ran out to the video store and rented the movie. I haven't heard the end of it from my brother, who blames me for getting The Lee's of Old VA stuck in his head for all eternity. :-)
Right now, I'm really wishing I could go back to NYC and see the show on stage. I'm dropping subtle hints around the house for my birthday. :-)
Your Servant, Sir!

1776 has been my favourite musical since I played Samuel Chase in a community theatre production five years ago. I am an avid lover of history, and while I can spot the historical inacuracies in the show, it still brings a smile to my face.

"Don't worry, John... the history books will clean it up." Great page, 1776 is definitely an awesome musical. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but of all the people I've seen/heard as Rutledge, John Cullum is my favorite, even if he wasn't th
original. I've just received the new laserdisc of 1776 as a graduation present, and was glad to finally have it complete, but was QUITE disappointed with picture and sound quality in some scenes. Still, it proves that William Daniels is definitely a ve
y talented man, even if he IS on "Boy Meets World" now. Sorry about any grammatical errors -- I don't know a participle from a predicate.

Splendid idea for a site! "It's a masterpiece, I say!" As a teacher of History I have shown each of my 4 classes, 1776, each year for the past 12 years. Add that to a few July 4th TV presentations and it comes to over 50 viewings. I love the show. I saw
the original movie at Radio City Musical Hall when I was in the 5th grade. (I still have the program.) I have revival tix for next month. I can't wait. Once again- great job!

I think "1776" is a fantastic musical and is really unappreciated. I have not yet seen a production of it, and I think Brent Spiner as John Adams would be very interesting. I do, though, have a recording of the movie's soundtrack and have seen the movie,
nd I think it is great. I was glad to find someone who respected Williams' masterpiece as me, and hope to see many more.

Wasn't Blythe Danner beautiful as Martha! I wish there was a widescreen version of
the film on VHS? Is the laser disc still

was the only cast member from the original play
that was not in the film?

I am only 13 years old and I Social Studies class this year we learned about American History. When we got to the 1776 we watched the movie. I loved it so much that I went to Strawberries and bought the CD of the Broadway Soundtack with Brent Spiner. I ha
e not seen the Broadway one but I sent Rosie O' Donnel an e-mail asking her if she would like to go with me. Because on one of her shows she said that she had never seen it. So I asked he. Heres Hopeing. I LOVE 1776!!!!!
