	1776: About the Playwrights
		Sherman Edwards, the composer and lyricist for 1776, was born in New York City in 1919.
		For several years Edwards tinkered with his idea of a musical comedy dealing with the behind the scenes aspects of the events leading to the creation of the Declaration of Independence.
		In addition to 1776, Edwards is remembered by the musical community for a dozen top-ten songs that he wrote, as well as numerous songs written for five Elvis Presley movies.

	1776 The Director's Cut
		It makes hilarious use of musical comedy conventions to serve up little historical tidbits, while driving home the point that none of these men had any idea just how significant the Declaration would become to future generations.
		In fact the screenplay is a very faithful adaptation of the original play, more so than most musicals, but the proceedings rarely feel like a filmed play, thanks to the constantly moving camera and Hunt's fondness for long takes.
		1776: A Musical Play by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards -- includes the complete text of the play, a Historical Note by the authors, the complete text of Jefferson's original draft for the Declaration of Independence with the elisions clearly marked, and a bibliography.

		1776 is a high energy fast paced retelling of the quest to create the Declaration of Independence by the founding fathers of America.
		1776 is unique in theatre history in that poetic license rarely alters the facts during this comical and inspirational musical.
		The artistic staff for 1776 are looking at current trends in behavior, especially speech and attempting to trace their origins back to our "founding fathers and mothers." The hope is that the results become an allegory for the innate differences in people.

		Musical Plays for Kids — Bad Wolf Press has short, quirky musical plays for classroom use, K-8, designed for musically timid teachers.
		One of the most unusual things about "1776" as a musical is that the vast majority of songs are in Act I, because once the declaration committe's draft is read to the congress ("The Egg"), the debate becomes too important for anything but the most somber of songs.
		Peter Stone's play "1776", is not only a wonderfully entertaining piece of musical theatre, containing great songs and dialogue (often with a healthy amount of wit), it is also historically accurate.

		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.
