Guestbook Molly Thomas - 12/26/00 03:03:55 My Email:gracepointe@hotmail.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: probably either "But Mr. Adams" or "The Egg" Favorite character: Abigail Adams Favorite other musical: Evita all the way! Comments: I love this musical! I just got the soundtrack for Christmas, and I'm listening to it at the moment, so all I need now is the movie! Thank you for making this site! Molly Thomas - 12/26/00 03:01:30 My Email:gracepointe@hotmail.com Patriot or Tory?: ummmm...Patriot, I think Favorite song: I love them all, but I think I like Comments: Meg - 11/27/00 22:39:49 Patriot or Tory?: sympathies for both sides... :-) Favorite song: you want me to CHOOSE? Favorite character: John Adams, who else? Favorite other musical: Miss Saigon Comments: I LOVE 1776! I first saw the movie last year in my history class, where the teacher wanted us to see the historical info. After 'Sit Down, John', he told the class he thought musicals were stupid (gasp!!) and why does everyone just burst into song? So h fast-forwarded through the rest of the songs. I nearly had a heart attack. So I went out and got the movie to see ALL THE SONGS, and now I'm hooked! William Daniels is fantastic in his role as John Adams, and I wish I could have seen it on Broadway. PS: for any of you who have ever heard the original cast of 'Shenandoah', the lead role, Charlie Anderson, was played by John Cullum who was Rutledge in the movie. He's fantastic!)

Thanks. Katie - 11/13/00 03:49:55 My Email:Stlouis11@aol.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot, of course Favorite song: Is Anybody There and Mama Look Sharp Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: Les Miserables and West Side Story Comments: This is the best musical I think I have ever seen. I saw it performed live in the middle of July and I could really relate when they sang "It's 90 degrees, have mercy John please, it's hot as hell in Philidelphia." I really like this musical. Shana G - 10/29/00 03:10:16 My Email:Broadwaylynn@aol.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: "He Plays the violin" and "Cool, Cool, considerate Men"and "Momma Look Sharp" Favorite character: Martha Jefferosn Favorite other musical: Ratime and Les Miserables Comments: I love all the music and the voices! And of course love the HISTORY! Kelly Hancock - 10/13/00 20:38:18 Patriot or Tory?: Good God! Can't you tell by my name?! Favorite song: "Sit Down, John", and "Cool, Cool, Considerate Men" Favorite character: John Adams, Charles Thomson Favorite other musical: Phantom of the Opera (but not half as much as 1776!) Comments: I will resent anyone who makes fun of me for liking Charles Thomson. He does too have a personality. Don't you see his emotions as he reads Washington's dispatches? Anyway, I found this to be a touching musical and it really hit home (John Hancock is m many-times-great-grandfather). My eigth grade social studies teacher first showed us the video to teach us about the Declaration of Independence. It was then that I first fell in love with this wonderful musical. I have the New Broadway cast recording and I'm a little disappointed that the original movie took out "Cool, Cool, Considerate Men." I found it to be a charming little piece. I love your website! Katie Lee - 10/08/00 19:55:07 My Email:Kdelacenserie@cs.com Patriot or Tory?: PATRIOT! is anyone a tory? Favorite song: "He plays the violin" and "sit down John" Favorite character: the agitator: John Adams Favorite other musical: death of a salesman Comments: I am 15 and after seeing 1776 my career goal is to be a historian and study the American Revolution. All my friends think I am crazy! they listen to pop groups and I listen to the 1776 cast recording! Thanks for the great site! Keep the sprit of '76 alive 1776 that is Cara - 09/29/00 19:28:55 My Email:Sunshine43@ifriendly.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot (but I do admit to liking british accents) Favorite song: Commitment Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: My Fair Lady Comments: All Time Favorite Movie!!! (and to the person who said they're 16 so they must have no life, Im 14 so I must REALLY have no life!) But anyway, favorite quotes: "Ya would ya lousy wart" and "Its a revolution, we've got to offend somebody" And all you ther Adams fans, I think we should start a campaign to put him on some of our money!! Katherine Trottier - 08/21/00 02:36:02 My URL:http://www.gurlpages.com/obsess/ladykatherine/index.html My Email:LadyKatherine@SirPercy.org Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: "Piddle, Twiddle" Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: The Scarlet Pimpernel Comments: I first saw this musical ages ago and fell in love with it, but never really thought about it much... until this past Friday night. A local theatre company put on "1776" as one of their pieces this summer and I fell for it's charm all over again! Adrian Zmed (yes, from TJ Hooker, Children of Eden, and Grease 2) played an absolutely STUNNINg John Adams and I only wish I had the money to go and see him again before it closes! I'm off tomorrow to (finally) buy the soundtrack! Anybody want to suggest which one is best? I'd greatly appreciate it! -Katherine Trottier Chuck and Michael Martins - 08/05/00 19:16:52 My Email:FMart56981@aol.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: Lees of Old Virginia Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: On The Twentieth Century Comments: Who would believe that an 8 year old would fall in love with this show. He did and has. Ask what he wants to see or listen to and it must be 1776. We took him to see it in New Hampshire and had front row seats. We had all to do to keep him from breakin into song or dialogue. He has both memorized. The NY Equity cast kept an eye on him as he mouthed the words to every song. J.R. Rodriguez - 07/31/00 19:03:28 My Email:hewasmyfriend@cs.com Patriot or Tory?: PATRIOT Favorite song: hard to say just one Favorite character: John Adams Comments: I've been lucky. I've been in the show twice. The first time out I played Richard Herny Lee. The second time, with a lot of make up I played Stephen Hopkins. I'm glad you have this sight. I think this is not only a wonderful musical, I also think it s an important story.

Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: Amadeus Comments: 1776 is wonderful. I adore John Adams, and I believe Daniels is far superior than Spiner, there is really not a comparison. I only wish that I could have been in NYC for the stage version, or in CA for the film verson. My question I would pose you woul be this. The real and most wonderful John Adams lived 1735-1826, and he was also in France and Spain for negociation for our country, USA. Why didn't he become aquainted with Mozart 1756-1791, or Beethoven 1770-1827...while John Adams was in France, at east? Didn't he, and Ben Franklin know some of the greatest classical composers were only miles away in Germany and Austria??? Mark Mirabella - 07/11/00 22:13:48 My Email:Quint23 Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: The Lees Of Old Virginia Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: Les Miserables Comments: I saw both productions and the movie as part of the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall. 1776 is a classic. You did a great job on this websight, I enjoyed it. Karen J. Andrade - 07/08/00 01:30:08 My Email:farmatty@javanet.com Patriot or Tory?: Patriot! Favorite song: Is anybody there? Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: Kiss Me Kate Comments: William Daniels is the man!!! Never has an obnoxious and disliked man been so appealing. You can keep the tall, redheaded, gentleman from Virgina. When John and Abigail are singing their first dream sequance together Daniels' countance and endearing sm le during the line "Don't smirk at me you egotist" just melts my heart, not to mention... It's a shame that media tastes changed so much in the 80' and 90's and Daniels was relegated to roles in TV dramas and sitcoms, far below his abilities. If any one knows where I write him and thank him for his imspiring performance I'd love to know. I'm also looking for a letterboxed video version. Remember, in the lines of Ben Franklin "Those who give up bit of their liberty to obtain temporary security, deserve neither. Keep crossing the Rubicon!

Favorite character: Thomas and of course, myself! Favorite other musical: Why should there be? Comments: I am so married to TJ! he is mine. he's not obnoxios and disliked, he wrote the freakin' declaration for cryin' out loud! E mail me now if you care about him as much as I do, or any of his buds...a.k.a.Johnny Adams..... Kara Haller - 06/28/00 01:08:23 Patriot or Tory?: Patriot Favorite song: Is Anybody there? (Even though I like all of them) Favorite character: John Adams Favorite other musical: West Side Story, Crazy For You, Fame Comments: This is one of my favorite musicals. It's so great. It's very well scored and very educational. The first time I saw the movie was in my 8th grade Social Studies class. (I'm now 16) It's so easy to like. Every time I see it I can't help but sing along and laugh! I give it 5 stars.

I'm amazed to have found this site and delighted that 1776 means so much to so many. Don't we all have wonderful taste? Wm. Daniels performance stands as one of the finest I have ever seen in any play, anywhere. It's as though the play were written exclusively for him. He fits it like a glove. Also, the chillingly beautiful singing by John Collum of "Rum". Incredible!!!

Favorite character: everyone's favorite agitator...John Adams! Favorite other musical: instead of listing 500 shows, I'll just say Scarlet Pimpernel and leave it at that. We could be here all day otherwise. Comments: I remember being ten on a hot day in late June in the 5th grade and my teacher putting on the movie of 1776 to keep us occupied...and that was it. I was done. Even though I love so many shows it's sick, I will always come home to 1776. I can recite the mo ie word for word and lyric for lyric. William Daniels rocks. That is all. Was really happy with the Roundabout revival...but my happiest moment of that is my acquistion: a Declaration prop from the show, signed by the actors in character at the end, and then autographed by the entire cast. $50 to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AI S well, well, well spent! *looks at Declaration hanging on wall behind monitor and sighs happily* sue murphy - 03/14/00 02:14:03 My Email:smm4051@aol.com Favorite song: Is anyboy there? Favorite character: Ben Franklin Favorite other musical: West Side Story Comments: I LOVE 1776!! As a teacher ofkids in a Juvenile Detention Unit I am always looking for new ways to entice their interests in learning. Does anyone have a script copy? I would GREATLY appreciate it- a script would help me teach the history information. THANKS!!

Favorite character: Rutledge Favorite other musical: Les Miserables Comments: Saw the original Broadway tour in 1971 with Bill Daniels and it changed my life. I enjoyed Brent Spiners 1776 at Roundabout. I have the laser disc version with all the cuts restored including Cool Cool Considerate Men. And I am currently directing 1776 at The Lazy Susan Dinner Theatre in Woodbridge Virginia, opening March 22, 2000 through July 9, 2000. abigail_adams - 02/29/00 19:45:42 My Email:abigail_adams@post.com Patriot or Tory?: Dear Sir! A Patriot Favorite song: He Plays The Violin Favorite character: John Adams!!!! Or Course Favorite other musical: Sound Of Music Comments: Although this musical was not as exposed to our theatre audiences, I do believe it is Magnificant in the representation of the stuggles facing the creation of The Declaration of Independence. Truely my name be Abigail Adams, sadly, not yet found my John dams, I must say 1776 should be presented as often as possible to all of us! Hurray for Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone, and of Course, this Abigail, "Plays the Violin" Laura - 02/20/00 06:26:05 Patriot or Tory?: a Patriot! ofcourse!
