Such a wonderful production ❤

Garrett and I watched the VHS of the wedding in the Library at Allegheny college.

I wonder if John is still around. I ended up at one of his Christmas parties back in the late 80s.

Delightful clip of a superb cast!!! ♥️

Thank you for posting this remarkable musical. Sadly, still far too accurate and relevant today. Very good, watchable copy of this Tony winning show!

Where was this done and when?

damn, this is GOOD! what a find

Really good job.

Very enjoyable!

I always cringe a bit when John Adams compares the Winters in Virginia to those of Massachusetts and calls them "soft". I've lived in *both* places and each was as bone-shatteringly cold as the other. 🥶😱

This wonderful actor is no Betty Buckley for sure but she is far superior to Blythe Danner. This looks like a fantastic production! Brava to all!! 👏👏👏👏

In the movie Adam's says now, in the middle of the afternoon and Franklin says not everyone's from Boston john.

Cathedral Rep Assholes.

Beautifully sung, acted, danced, directed, designed, costumed and produced. I suspect composer/lyricist, Sherman Edwards and book writer Peter Stone, very deliberately chose a 3/4 time signature for this number. Historically, it might be possible that some of the early colonists knew of the German peasant dances done in 3/4 time, and, it is plausible that Ben Franklin may have observed the Nizzarda, the French version of the waltz. But, he would not have experienced those cultures until after the action of this play has concluded, as, his trip to, and service in France happens much later in 1776. For the purposes of this musical, an argument can be made for the 3/4 time signature of "He Plays the Violin" being an act of musical revolution and rebellion. With its roots in the servant and peasant classes, the waltz was not yet an acceptable social dance for the palace courts of Europe. And, except for servants and peasants, the closed, face-to-face dance position was considered immoral and scandalous. Touching a partner without the barrier of gloved hands would have been outrageous. So the choice of the waltz for ".....Violin" is in direct contrast to the Minuet & Gavotte used for, and specifically referred to in "Cool, Considerate Men". My verbose point is, it would have been a rebellious and revolutionary act, not to mention, scandalously immoral for Benjamin Franklin and John Adams to dance in a closed position with any woman, much less another man's wife. But, Martha is also displaying free-spirited, revolutionary behavior by speaking in innuendo about her husband's lovemaking skills, arguably a cue to Franklin that, if asked, she might just be thrilled to let him lead her in the new, scandalous waltz. This is not just a lark for Ben Franklin, Martha and John Adams, they are thumbing their noses at class rules and defying courtly dances by waltzing. They would not just casually slip into a face-to-face dance position. They would certainly know they are being quite daring, but, surely that would only increase their thrill. Technically, this choreography, as staged, doesn't hit the USA for nearly one hundred years. But, as scripted for this show, it is musical and social dance form of treason! I'll bet the Creators may have intended just that!

I'll be playing Younger Brother in a local production. This is the biggest role I've ever had, I'm nervous, but excited.

Who is the cast in this production?

Worked this show in Summer Stock. I could play every part. Scary isn't it.

This was based on the book by EL Doctorow. I have to say that although I didn't much care for the book in college (my professor raked me over the coals in my report and I managed a C from it), I personally think the musical is far better and I find myself enjoying it more !

On the Cleveland in 1985

Did not see answer to where this was done. BRAVO TO ALL INVOLVED

Still feel the fun

The “independent C” is for me

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 post more of this please ! Loved being in this with you. What a fantastic show.

i come back to this video about every year. it's such a good performance and i would totally pay to watch the whole thing

THANK YOU!! I needed this video so bad. I appreciate you re-adding it. 😀

Hello! I apologize for posting on this video but I can’t figure out how to contact you. I’m desperately searching for a video you had posted but removed. It was the Makeshift Aparatus For Scanning Larger Reels On Wolverine Moviemaker. I found a ton of my dad’s old 8mm and Super 8 home movies. I bought the digitizer but most of the reels are the larger ones. Your “how to” video was the perfect solution. I started gathering the things I need but forgot what the side with the pulley looked like. I was so sad when I came back to see you removed the video. Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Plays in the park?! Like Edison, NJ Plays in the park?! This was a core memory of my childhood. My grandma would take me here every summer.

@4:47 ngl he kinda looks like Trump.

I just saw 1776 on Broadway with an all female LGBTQ cast. What a terrible production. The show in this video looks amazing - wish I was back in Edison - Props to Sandy, David and Michael if you come across this

I guess the performance from the movie ruins this for me but still good

Such a important part of American history probably never would have been heard about if it wasn’t for this song

I love Sandy Taylor’s take on this song. While it is sometimes played more naively, her knowingness and warmth work wonderfully here. Very funny and when she gets to the final verse, it’s quite moving and works perfectly in the play. Lovely work!

Sorry....but Merwin Foard dud a much better job.
