To say that 20,000 French died during the 10 years of the first canal attempt is a lie. The deaths were incurred by Caribbean "slave" laborers. And not 1/3 of the canal was completed by this first attempt. More like less than 10% completed. Not a factual documentary on many points.
John Adams was amazing. the fact that they all hit the tables when Ceasar Rodney signed the Decleration of Independence was not in the movie but touching.
I could nitpick a few missed lines and missed notes, but overall a very well done production, excellent when I remember that the movie could do everything over and over and only record the best take. John and Abigail Adams almost but not quite touching worked well, and I was particularly fond of the casting of Benjamin Franklin.
An amazing production of 1776, the Musical, by the Roseville Community Theater. Well Done all!! As good as I remember the performance when we saw it in Philadelphia on July 3-4, 1976
I guess I can see how white Americans will be impressed by this history. But native-Americans and African-Americans will justifiably think the complete opposite.
Was that supposed to be a joke? John was telling them to vote for independency; it was some unnamed Congressman who was saying "Someone oughta open up a window". The whole point of the song was that he pounded "Vote yes" until he was blue in the face and everyone was sick of hearing it, so "Sit Down, John" played exactly as it was supposed to
I kind of liked most of the slides; they allowed showing things that wouldn't fit on the stage. It made an effective compromise between the stage musical and the movie.
The best documentary on the building of the Panama Canal ever. David McCullough is a master naratior. I can listen to him all day. Nice job Dave.. PREVIEW 1:22 PREVIEW 1:22
I thought, and this is my opinion only, that the woman that played Abigail Adams had far and away the best voice of anyone in this troupe. The production was decent. And was I mistaken, or was that a young woman that was part of the trio doing Look Sharp? I have no complaints either way, as they may not have had a boy capable of playing the part, and if it was a young woman playing the page, she was decent in the role. I was just wondering if I was mistaken.
Hmm. Not sure I like this interpretation of "He Plays The Violin". The actress plays it very obviously and with no subtlety whatsoever. I think the whole point here is that Martha Jefferson is being coyly suggestive, not boldly bawdy.
i do like that theater is open to interpretation. Every actress who has played Mama Rose has approached her differently. When Angela Lansbury did the first revival and was asked about the role, she replied, “the role once belonged to Ethel Merman, and in the future, it will surely belong to someone else. But for this moment in time, the role is mine.”. My friend, who has seen Broadway shows since the 60s, said, for example, that Bernadette Peters added a bit of sexuality to the part, that had never been there before. (I do prefer the subtler version.)
I agree with you about her. I actually liked Blythe Danner in the film much better, and I certainly liked the original production better with its portrayal of that song particularly. I have yet to run across a single production where the actress playing Abigail Adams was not the best voice in the cast.
I think I agree in that I don't think a boldly bawdy woman would be Thomas Jefferson's type, but I'm also not sure he'd go for coy. I might like to see a production where Martha split the difference and went with first-love passionate.
@@kennitawatson7883 The whole point of the song is coy innuendo. She brings Adams and Franklin in thinking that this sweet, demure woman is going to reveal something "naughty" about Jefferson, and instead she innocently says that he plays the violin. Playing it unsubtly and in an obvious manner completely misses the point.
Many from the movie performed in the stage productions, either before or after. Why would a film with the people that made the stage shows successful be any less good, and why would stage productions with the same people that inhabited the roles so well in the film cause the stage shows to sink like lead weights on a fishing line?
Really impressed with the soldier who performed "Mama Look Sharp". That whole sequence leading up to it came across as very authentic and the singer had a great take on when to lean into the intensity of the lyrics rather than just giving a musically pleasing rendition. One of the most stirring and emotional versions I've seen.
Presumably Roseville California. There are a few other Rosevilles in the US. But Roseville Ca is reasonably good size and has a good size community theatre. I'm quite impressed by the multi-camera recording work, and the sound recording.
I still love William Daniels and Virginia Vestoff in the roles of John and Abigail Adams, and I thought John Cullum was fantastic in the role of Rutledge. I preferred the original cast from the Broadway show. But this production has been quite good so far. At this writing I only reached the Lees of Virginia.
You need to read a book titled “The Land Divided” by Gerstle Mack. He dedicates almost 100 pages just discussing the research that came between Humboldt’s idea to build a canal in Central America and the French Company of the Interoceanic Canal.
Fabulous! I loved the Boylan Sisters comedy interludes. I did a sequel to the one where the orphans write the comics m.fanfiction.net/s/13760602/1/To-The-Rescue with them talking about them in a 2- hour Bert Healy interview at the 1939 World's Fair, but I didn't even think of where I culd for the Boylan Sisters in, that would have been even better. (m.fanfiction.net/s/13766848/1/Just-Thinking-About-Tomorrow ) But, it is more of a straight interview so maybe they wouldn't logically be there.
I don't know how to reach owner of this channel,but please give me some insights on how to find disk 1 of this documentary. I can not desribe my love for this subject,and this seems to be a really great thing they made here. Best regards from Vietnam and Serbia!
I can not thank you enough for posting this gold. I am Serbian living in Vietnam,but carrying my lovr for native american culture and their heritage where ever i go.
A romantic portrayal of the takeover of a land and the displacement of a people? "We are the future, like it or not". Oh and keep the black guy as a slave and beat him? The sins of the fathers... But a great production nevertheless. Many layers, many complexities. Harsh to judge the past on today's values. But there was glory and there was pain.
How many poor working men died building the Panama Canal? How much were they paid?
25,600 men died , to . , Yellow fever , insect bites , food poison , venomous snake bites , and accidents
French 20,000 Americans 5600
To say that 20,000 French died during the 10 years of the first canal attempt is a lie. The deaths were incurred by Caribbean "slave" laborers. And not 1/3 of the canal was completed by this first attempt. More like less than 10% completed. Not a factual documentary on many points.
Was this intended to be a spoof? Everyone is SOOOOOO over the top. What a bunch of goofs.
Now you have Biden wants to amend all this doing because he doesn't like decision
Awesome 😊

Im impressed! Thank you for posting this!

Great voices!!
You're too old to be singing that.
Excelente❤
Half a documentary. Another RUclips "gem."
I such fond memories of this wonderful Musical!! Thank you so much for sharing!!❤
Loved it, ty
Excellent audio quality

🧍♂️ *Hello, Johnny!* 👋🙃
meanwhile the entirety of sit down john it's just people telling john to sit down and john telling them that he wants to open a window
Was that supposed to be a joke? John was telling them to vote for independency; it was some unnamed Congressman who was saying "Someone oughta open up a window". The whole point of the song was that he pounded "Vote yes" until he was blue in the face and everyone was sick of hearing it, so "Sit Down, John" played exactly as it was supposed to
Brilliant performance by all!
What theatrical genius decided it would be a good idea to have a multi-media presentation in the midst of 1776?

it’s like hamilton, but good
Imagine thinking Hamilton isn't good 💀💀
@@urmom777Hamilton was propaganda since he was a traitor always trying to bring in a foreign banking system
You're cool
Reading this musical, it is amazing how relevant it is today to our current government, which acts very similar.

Oh, it’s cool that the movie hasn’t killed the musical for the stage.

Absolutely adore the portrayal of Miss Hannigan!
Funny and vionlent
time for a civics lesson from a musical

Could anyone please tell me what state Roseville is in? What an excellent production! Great casting and actors... wonderful voices!

My congratulations to the actor playing Edward Rutledge … his portrayal of the Triangle Trade was the most moving I have ever seen! Bravo!
A whole musical For free on RUclips
I do not know why someone would ever dislike this. It is a musical, but a damn fine one.
One of the best.
Yes

Because it's a historically false joke made by the woke.
Because it's cultural appropriation?
can anyone find more information about G. DÉLÉPINIE?
