| Was Ken Howard still in it when you saw it? Best Plays listed both Ken Howard and Clifford David as having been replaced on May 30, 1969 (Howard having left to film Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon). But Best Plays wasn't always exactly right, and it may be that Howard left a little later. I saw it on July 3, 1969, and they were both already gone. | |

| You are right, Alan. Ken Howard is still listed in the program I purchased, which includes an insert for David Cryer, but I checked my Playbill and John Fink was by then playing Jefferson. I had somehow forgotten that, though I vividly remembered Cryer. I also remember a blue-haired, seemingly drunk though clearly intelligent woman carrying on a personal conversation from her seat with John Adams. She referred to him as John and seemed to be debating points of history with him. People were shushing her, but I was too young to be easily bothered and got a laugh out of her. I do to this day. |

| I wish I could have seen David Cryer in 1776! Molasses to Rum is my favorite song, too. I became aware of Cryer when he was Fermin in the PHANTOM tour that I followed for a while in the late 90's. I've since seen dozens of Fermin(s), and he is by far the standard! He added so much to that minor-ish role, but didn't overdo it, if you know what I mean. Cryer ended up in the Broadway production of POTO, and I was able to enjoy his performance as Fermin one last time. |

| LOL. That is hysterical (about the woman). Yes, I always remember Cryer. 1776 was my fourth Broadway show, and I'd never seen a number get the kind of response that Cryer got for "Molasses to Rum." The audience went crazy when it was over. |
