1776 the musical
OMG! I remember that. Was played on cable not that long ago. Just wished it wasn’t in ‘musical’ form.
I’ll second that.
#32 Howard da Silva as Franklin looked very close to actual paintings of Franklin.
Ironically, da Silva was the political opposite of Franklin. He was a longtime member of the Communist Party USA. For Soviet totalitarianism as versus Franklin for America’s freedom.
Still, the play “1776” was a delightful production. Saw it at the National Theater in DC in, 1976 or 1977.
