HUZZAH!! I was thrilled to see a site for this grand show! I first saw the movie in high school when I just started performing and when video tapes were a new thing. The first live production I saw was at the Merry Go Round Playhouse in Syracuse NY in 94.
My friend Tony played Rutledge. It had always been his favorite show, and his enthusiam for it rekindled my interest. Sadly I missed the revival last year, but I am thrilled to be doing the upcoming national tour this fall. The material on your site has b
en great for research. Contact me if you would like the itinerary for the tour.

It is SO nice to see a 1776 site on the net. Being a huge American History and theatre fan this show satisfies my eccentric addictions on all levels. It's great as a movie, on a bway stage or in local or regional theatre (I've seen it in North Carolina
here Terrence Mann was Richard Henry Lee boy was THAT interesting). May this show continue to live with the legacy of that which it portrays

Wow! Thanks for a great experience! Our son thought that we were the only people on earth who are crazy about this musical! We do have the extended version on laser disc--we ordered it from a music/video store. It is wonderful! William Daniels and Vi
ginia Vestoff are our all time favorites! If anyone has met either one of these actors or has any information (especially on the late Ms. Vestoff) it would be greatly appreciated if you shared it with us! Great web site!

I can't believe that there is a 1776 homepage. I stumbled across it and found out that there are other people who have seen the movie, the play, and read the script. It is by far my most favorite play, and I'm glad that it has reached so many people. T
anks for taking the time to create this page.

The first time I saw 1776, I loved it! I've seen the movie, and heard the soundtracks. I walk around singing the songs. I've read the entire script. This is a great musical!

I saw the movie when it first came out in theaters....my father took my sister and I (I was about 12 at the time) to see it, as she was playing in the pit orchestra for a local production of it. I fell in love with the show, and have never lost my enthusi
m for it (although I have lost several girl friends who narrow mindedly refused to watch it with me). I am extremely excited to hear that an extended version is out.....any help in locating it would be most appreciated.
Your obedient (drum role).

Comments:
When I saw this movie in the seventh grade (wow-24
years ago now!), it really drew me in and flamed
my interest in the American Revolution. It was on
TV a few years later, and I sat next to the
television and audiotaped it (long before VCRs
kids!) then listened to it over and over again. A
few years ago, I had the chance to go to
Philadelphia, and had an awesome time on the tour
of Independence Hall.(A pilgrimage of sorts!) Now
I've just had the opportunity to see the ENTIRE
version of the movie for the very first time. Even
better than I could have hoped. This is a great
website, and I was happy

I am glad to find a site to share my enjoyment of this excellent, if little known, musical. Actually, I believe the story could stand on its own as a straight play, but the music certainly gives it that extra dimension.
I would like to ask a question that has been nagging at me ever since I saw the musical many years ago: "Neddy" Rutledge sings of "Molasses to Rum to Slaves". How exactly is Boston involved in the "Triangle Trade"? Do they obtain the slaves and sell them
to the Southerners? Somehow, this is never fully explained in the plot.

My first exposure to 1776 was in high school American Lit. We had to read the play aloud in class. Later they showed us the film. It's become a favorite of mine. The Special Edition Laserdisc is one of my most played video items. Great job on the sit
. Cheers!

I first saw this on tv about 20 years ago with my brothers and sisters. I very much enjoyed it, and for some reason, it has always stayed with me and them. Thanks for a great site and for bringing back some fun memories.

I'm the same person who liked "Grease". If there are any kids about 9-12, who like "1776". Let me know! Adults, don't pretend to be a kid. Bye!

I love this musical. I saw it years ago in the theater. A few years ago I saw it on T.V. and I made my husband watch it. He fell in love with it. Our oldest sons name is John so we use the son "Sit Down John." a lot. It really is a wonderful musical
nd we love it a lot.

Great page! But this musical deserves nothing
less. I saw the revival at the Roundabout Theatre
with my grandparents. I'd not been expecting such a vibrant, funny production! (Any 17-year-old who's dragged off to the theater with a promise of "fun" is inclined to be slightly reluctant... but I was absolutely captivated!) I wish I could have had t
e opportunity to see William Daniels as John Adams - he's one of my all-time favorites - but Brent Spiner did a great job, and the rest of the cast was spectacular as well. (Also I think John Corbett as Rutledge must have been terrific. Oh well.)
Anyway, thanks for posting this site - as I said, "1776" deserves it!
