What makes 1776 hard to do in local theater is that the show is all men, except for two female roles.

Yes and it’s costume heavy and the voices must be VERY strong. And you have to be a very good actor to carry that script. It was revived about 10 years ago on B’way with Pat Hingle as Franklin. It was excellent but not as electrifying as the original show. It tells you something about the revival that I can’t remember who played John Adams.
