At the Paper Mill
At the Paper Mill Playhouse there’s a production of 1776 afoot and it’s inspired. The NYTimes says that the first act isn’t as good as the second, as the second has some more dramatic tension. Most of the actors are amazing; they sing well and perform their parts in a way that would surely get the attention of the original historical figures. The design is impressive and quite fun. The music is done well, with some of the songs like “Molasses to Rum” and “Momma, Hey Momma” especially well done. Make sure to see this show if you are in the area, because this one is kind of unusual to see live. You might learn something too.
