| Saw it on Broadway when I was 10 & LOVED it...I remember John Cullum letting me, having dropped off a letter to him, come meet him backstage & he was so, so gracious! Maureen Silliman went on to do lots of work, & Donna Theodore, the other principal female cast member, did quite a bit of other work around that time...I think my Dad & I saw her in one of the wonderful musicals at Equity Library Theatre. The commercial, of John Cullum singing in a field, was very powerful & aired a LOT. | |

| Thanks for the memory! Theodore impressed me immediately on the Freedom track. Before I knew who was singing, both Ann Crumb and Streisand came to mind. Something about the "throb" in her tone. I felt for sure it must be the younger version of some actress who became a Broadway mainstay. But alas, I had never heard of her and she has no other credits on IBDB. ' |

| I think other posters covered most of what I would have said. Saw it in Boston, I believe pre Broadway. I took my parents. By this time I was already an experienced theater goer and more. We all liked the show, it was decently crafted and had that oh so fantastic part for its male lead which Cullum filled magnificently. It was of its time, the anti war sentiment still in the air moved the audiences in ways that don't as much today. Listening to the cast album is a pleasant experience, there are a number of good old fashioned show tunes. Geld and Udell were modestly talented as a team but Pulie continues to resonate whereas Shendoah does not. | |
