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.
