This version in particular is amazing, it's just so ruthless and intense. He gets waaay too into it, absolutely rubbing their noses in the ugly side of the business the Northerners would prefer to leave unspoken.

"T'isn't morals, t'is money that saves" -me before watching a show for free on the internet

Possibly the best version of this song.

I agree. I've seen this performed so many times, and this version, to me, was the best.

Hard to touch John Cullum, but this is the best I have heard, aside from Cullum.

My parents saw this revival in the theater two years before I was born…I can only imagine how fucking intense this number was to have been seen live.

thanks to this musical I aced history class

Same! American History I had down pact!

A fantastic song about a fantastically-evil institution... an institution that’s even larger, worldwide today than it was in 1776.

Sadly true. It will always be with us in some form or another.

Truth! Everyone views black slavery as a purely Southern problem and institution, which it most definitely was not...

Great version. Very good. Just need Cullum in there ;)

While I am an obsessive fan of John Cullum and can appreciate the sentiment, hopefully you don't mean that no other actor can play the role. Way back, I used to audition for it (too old now, unfortunately). Like Paris, we'll always have Mr. Cullum's performance on film.

A remake of 1776 would be worth it just to recast this song as an animated, nightmarish Disney Acid Sequence.

Good. But can't top Cullum.
