The most memorable song from the musical movie/ play about the signing the Declaration of Independence.  1776. Time to watch it again.  IMO it’s a don’t miss.

 

Here is an interview with William Daniels who played John Adams. He is 93! One thing I learned but did not know is that the entire broadway cast was in the movie.

I saw 1776 on stage when I was a kid. Oddly, our swim team sponsored a performance as a fund raiser. Despite not even being in high school yet, I thought it was a pretty cool show.

took our kids to see it on stage when they were Jr. High.  I saw it once more on stage and I have the DVD.  It’s probably been 40 years since I’ve seen it on stage and I keep looking. Surprising and disappointing that no national touring company produces it now.
