  • END THE FED!

  • @inspector1stclass It'd be more correct to say that there were no parties at the time, period. The beginnings of political parties in the US came about with the debate over the constitution (Federalists and Anti-federalists), which is quite a bit later in US history.

  • @MaskedMan66

    The parties were different back then. I don't think that you can really attach either side of the issue to one modern party or another.

  • @MacNair He left the production prior to the tony awards.

  • Why isn't Brent Spiner doing this?

  • Look closely at the actor playing Caesar Rodney (with the bandage on his face). It's the same actor who played McNair in the original Broadway production, and the film version, William Duell. He wasn't on the 1997 revival CD but he had replaced that actor by the time of this performance. Cool bit of trivia.

  • I agree; I'm in a production of it right now, and despite being a product of the time in which it was written (portraying proto-Democrats as "conservatives" for instance) it provides a mostly true depiction of the birth of this country while being truly entertaining piece of theater.

  • Brent Spiner is much better!

  • John is being played by Michael McCormick

  • who is playing john here?
