[edit] Bad link
The link to Peter Stone's article comparing the musical "1776" with actual history is not working. Does anyone recall what content was contained at the link? If it was simply a copy of Stone's introduction to the published libretto of "1776," then it is available through that source (and the link site was probably a copyvio). If it's something else, I'd be very interested if anyone knows whether it's available from another source. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 00:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

- Link is still broken. Interestingly, the article notwithstanding, I was still in school at the time and remember the play as being criticized by my teachers for being too contrived and insufficiently adhering to the real historical facts rather than the opposite. Since I now have no way of proving this, I'm letting it be all the same. Rlquall 01:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- I love the play/film, but there's no question that it's fictionalized. As some examples, compare the character of James Wilson with James Wilson, or Thomas McKean with Thomas McKean, or Stephen Hopkins with Stephen Hopkins, or Joseph Hewes with Joseph Hewes. It's still a great musical. Newyorkbrad 14:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
