	The 5th Avenue Theatre - 2000-2001 Season - 1776
		Bringing together a life-long love of history and the theatre, former history teacher Sherman Edwards dreamt for years of creating a musical that brought to life the behind-the-scenes maneuvers that culminated in the Declaration of Independence.
		We become so emotionally involved in the arguments, the compromises, the disputes, the perseverance, the courage and the sacrifices - in short the roiling, deeply human interplay between those who wanted independence and those who were afraid of it - that we begin to doubt the facts we've known since grade school.
		1776 was also the first stage musical ever to be presented at the White House in its entirety, at a party celebrating the 238th birthday of George Washington.

		"1776" puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
		Yet, 1776, which opened last night at the 46th Street Theater, most handsomely demonstrated that people who merely go on the face of it" are occasionally outrageously wrong.

		The 2002 DVD release of 1776 offers the 168-minute "director's cut" version of the film, which is about 20 minutes longer than the VHS release (though still shorter than the previously released 180-minute laserdisc, which director Peter H. Hunt has said included some material he didn't care for).
		For the uninitiated, 1776 is the story of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and was first presented on Broadway in the late 1960s.
		However, purism aside, what 1776 makes clear is just what a close run thing independence really was, that there was, indeed, a significant proportion of Americans (and their representatives) who wished to remain loyal to the British crown.

		Esteemed historian David McCullough covers the military side of the momentous year of 1776 with characteristic insight and a gripping narrative, adding new scholarship and a fresh perspective to the beginning of the American Revolution.
		Some of the strongest passages in 1776 are the revealing and well-rounded portraits of the Georges on both sides of the Atlantic.
		The reader should be aware that "1776" is merely an introduction to that year, for the actions of the other Founding Fathers (and Mothers) are barely mentioned.

		General Washington is at the center of this history, but important too are the citizen-soldiers of the Continental Army, who seemed at first to be at a disadvantage compared to the well-trained and equipped British led by General Howe.
