Ford's Theatre is a great place to catch a show and 1776 had me pleasantly entertained the whole time. I haven't been to many plays but I must say that I enjoyed the performance immensely. Bravo!
Unfortunately I missed the matinee performance because I was sick that day. I would have loved to see it but there was no available ticket. Maybe another time!
I'd recommend this 100%, but don't like the requirement to write a long review!
Fantastic, spirited, energetic cast. Great family show!
The acting and the singing was excellent. We enjoyed the pit orchestra very much. The production appealed to our patriotism, and reminded us of why we are unashamed to be Americans! We also very much appreciated the decorum that is maintained by the staff of Fords Theatre.
I was blown away by the professional quality of the production and talent of the actors. Expected this to be a fairly small scale, lesser quality production. It was at least equivalent to most travelling Broadway productions, but without the high prices and large theaters. Sitting in the balcony was almost the same as sitting near the stage, because Ford's Theater is a fantastic venue. Could see every detail and hear every word. I would definitely see something else here.
Great performance that should be seen by all Americans. I loved it!!! Was very happy to see the show with 300 - 400 high school students.
I truly enjoyed the Ford's Theatre experience and the play 1776! Being afforded the opportunity to see the museum prior to showtime was both enjoyable and beneficial. Spending the night sitting among such American history was indeed a moving experience. The cast of 1776 truly did an outstanding job of bringing American history to life!
We really enjoyed the show. The music was great. The acting was great! It was first rate.
I've seen a lot of theater over the years, and this was perhaps the best theater ever. The show is wonderful, but this cast of stellar gentlemen brought it to life in new and exciting ways. Thanks to Ford's Theater for assembling an amazing group of acting singers.
This was beautifully sung and acted historical musical in a perfect theater for this type of show. History being made in an intimate theatre that has so much meaning that this great musical was even greater because of the presence of history on the stage and all around me. You don't get to see this kind of great theater in such an intimate space. What an amazing evening!
1776 was an excellent performance. "John Adams" gave a commanding performance. I didn't realize how many signers of the Declaration I had forgotten. The show was enjoyable and educational.
It was the great ending of a really enjoyable DC vacation. We attended the May 15th performance,on our final night in Washington-it was one of the high points of our visit,great show!!!!
This was one of the best theater experiences we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the play!
Absolutely riveting from the first moment - and I have seen the movie/play several times! The actors were great, set wonderful, and of course, Ford's Theater impressive.
Three leads were okay. Abigal adams and john hancock were terrific. Rest of cast was good. Sets were good. Orchestra was good. Refurbished theater looks great.
Enjoyed this play! Entertaining and educational, making me what to learn more about the signing of the declaration of independence. Loved the theater too!
The music is great especially the first song. It sets the pace, the comedy, and their attention to historical details. Every student in schools should see this. They would have a better appreciation for our early independence. A must see.
This play was a fun way to bring history to life. The actors and the songs were memorable and showed the dilemna of that time.
spirited production and good singing but the portraiture of women was, shall we say, a little confining and even for its place and time, rather condescending ... sexual jokes with tom jefferson not very suitable for kids in the audience interval was too short, and when they closed the elevator, cut me off from 13 year old kid. which was Not Good
