Third musical we have watched at the Ford Theater. Each musical was well cast and a delight to see and hear.
The new seats are comfortable, and combining this with the historical significance of the theater and the sad reminders of the assassination of a great American president, makes this an emotional and entertaining experience.
The complex, which includes the museum, the house where Lincoln died, and the educational center, makes this a must visit location for the whole family.
Our thanks to all involved who have preserved this important history for all americans to experience.

The show is a great show with fun music and wonderful characters; our founding fathers. The story of the birth of our nation is compelling and enlightening, at the same time. The performers chosen for this production were outstanding. All of them played their parts expertly. The singing was glorious; the acting superb. If I had one minor complaint it would be the costumes. They seemed a bit shoddy. However, the set design was first rate, as was the lighting. Great job by the director and the performers.

Having grown up with Bicentennial mania in Philadelphia in the '70s and having seen the movie version of 1776 many times, I really wanted to see the stage version. I was not disappointed. It entertained as always, while being though-provoking. The performances were excellent and the singing uniformly strong.

"1776" is a wonderful show, and Ford's really did an first rate job with it. Excellent cast in both acting and singing, fine direction, very effective sets, costumes, and lighting - how can you miss? I have never seen a show at Ford's that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Their work is of the highest quality, and since the renovation, the seats are more comfortable and the theatre looks beautiful.

1776 was incredible at Ford's Theater. I saw it twice, it was so good. The entire cast was outstanding, and to watch a show about our nation's history in a venue filled with so much history itself was a very exciting experience.

The acting and the singing was excellent. We enjoyed the pit orchestra very much. The production appealed to our patriotism, and reminded us of why we are unashamed to be Americans!
We also very much appreciated the decorum that is maintained by the staff of Fords Theatre.

I was blown away by the professional quality of the production and talent of the actors. Expected this to be a fairly small scale, lesser quality production. It was at least equivalent to most travelling Broadway productions, but without the high prices and large theaters. Sitting in the balcony was almost the same as sitting near the stage, because Ford's Theater is a fantastic venue. Could see every detail and hear every word. I would definitely see something else here.

I truly enjoyed the Ford's Theatre experience and the play 1776! Being afforded the opportunity to see the museum prior to showtime was both enjoyable and beneficial. Spending the night sitting among such American history was indeed a moving experience. The cast of 1776 truly did an outstanding job of bringing American history to life!
