I always listen to 1776 on the 4th of July, although one of these years I'll get to sit down and watch the whole DVD again. :) "Is Anybody There?" gives me chills every time. John Adams was a problematic man, but he also was brilliant and fervent in his beliefs.

Ooh do you listen to the original Broadway recording? I've only seen the movie. I'm quite found of the opening number and any time John and Abigail sing to each other. Saltpeter....John! get me every time.

I listen to the movie recording, because I love all of the actors so much! :) it does include "Cool, Considerate Men," which was cut from the movie for politcal reasons... though I have the full DVD so it is back in. I ADORE that song.

John and Abigail are just lovely.
