This was my very favorite community type play I have ever seen. I wish I wasnt on vacation when I went to see it, because I would have gone back and taken my other kids and my husband and my mom as well. What a great historical play but also amusing, witty beyond belief and it felt very fresh and new, current jokes about history. I loved it, adored it. Would have bought the soundtrack right then and there for $40 bucks if they had it. My 13 year old son also loved it, was his favorite play as well. I think this would be a great play for all kids to see ages 7 and up! I cant wait to see it again....if it ever comes our way.

It was a great fun musical. Thought I was in for a rough performance when the Old Liberty forgot some of the words to the opening song. But everyone showed true professionalism and performed admirably - including Old Liberty. Seeing the last show was well worth rearranging my flight schedules.

A pre- through post-Revolutionary War play interspersed with music! It was superb, in particular, as it was also set against the backdrop of Ford's Theatre!

The show was excellent. Very funny and moved at a good pace. All of the actors did a great job. The actors portraying Liberty Smith were outstanding. The scene involving the trip to France made me laugh out loud. The costumes are also a double thumbs up. If this is coming to a theater near you, it is worth the trip.

Our whole family of six truly enjoyed the Ford's Theatre production of Liberty Smith. The quick witty dialogue contained laughs for all ages! And the wonderful, historic and intimate Ford's Theatre makes you feel you are a part of the production.
Thank you for a great evening.

The last Liberty Smith show was great, and the actors acted like they had never done the show before... All of the costumes, theatrical timing and music were very well done... I rank it among my Top Five of All-time!

Loved it! Clever premise - funny, lively, great performers, delightful music. I'm sorry this was the last performance as I would highly recommend it as a family friendly production. Great way to recap American history with a modern twist. This was the world premier- hope it has a future.

Liberty Smith is a fantastic musical. I felt like I was watching a show on Broadway. All the actors were in character every single second, no matter if they were the focus or not. The set was small, meaning not ornate, but used so well. Every performer had a beautiful voice. The artistic "liberties" that were taken were fun, for example, Jefferson being so afraid and not wanting to write the Declaration of Independence. My 15 year old daughter, Emily, has a boyfriend named Andrew. So, when the Liberty Smith character, Emily Andrews, introduced herself, that brought a twinkle to my Emily's eye. But her eye twinkled so much more through the performance. She loved it. My mom love it as did I! My almost 13 year old daughter was a little frustrated and not understanding all the jokes, but she did like it too. The references to history and present day situations were great-- so funny. I would go again in a heart beat. Just loved it.

We all enjoyed this wonderful show. Very clever. The writing, music and performances were all first rate. I am sorry that it is closing because we'd like to return and bring friends to see it. Great for the entire family. Many students on Friday night. They loved the show, too.

None of the reviews I have seen has done this play justice. It was laugh-out-loud funny all the way through! The music was delightful, and the cast members were wonderfully talented singers. The plot hinged on split-second timing and nobody missed a beat. Had I known how good this play was, and how much fun, I would have gone sooner and often. Give us "Liberty" and give me mirth!

Clever script that gave enough "true" history while giving a wink and a nod to what is current today. Clever dialogue, wonderful music - I wish there was a cast album! - and tons of talent on the satge.
Brilliant set and wonderful costumes.
This was absolutely a Broadway calibre production.
I wish I had gotten to a show earlier in the run so I could have seen it a second time. I can only hope this show gets produced again somewhere, and soon!

This play was enjoyable from beginning to end. Particularly well cast, the players became their characters. There was no appearance of saying lines, it was if they were conducting normal conversations.
The songs were very cleverly crafted and totally enjoyable. This play reminded me of one of my favorite broadway plays - - "1776". The orchestra was first rate and never missed a cue. The audience could hear everything.
It's a pitty this play couldn't run for a while longer so that more people would have the opportunity to enjoy it.
I commend the Director, the cast and crew, and all who made this a total success and enjoyable experience.
In Summation: 'Simply outstanding all the way around.

I took two 10-year olds to this play and had the best time. The music and story were filled with humor and good fun. I was very happy to discover the special $15 tickets for folks under 35 yrs for selected matinees. These girls didn't mind getting out of school early for this educational field trip. Our seats were in the rear orchestra...but Ford's theater is so intimate that all seat are wonderful. I wish there was a video of the play to purchase...we would watch it many times and it covers the period in history that 4th graders are studying.

When we went, we weren't expecting it to be so hilarious. We were expecting it to be just some play. It was completely different. We laughed so hard, we were crying at times. We still repeat jokes. Liberty Smith, personally, made my top five plays- and I've seen a lot. It was funny, relaxing, thrilling, and it was overall great. The classic love story, the many- told stories of Paul Revere, George Washington, and even Ben Franklin, really started up our trip in D.C. You guys are amazing... no, better than amazing. Keep it up!
