 On May 12. 2011, the China White family was devastated by the loss of their most recent guitarist, Phil Caroselli. Reports came in that this great musician and father was killed in a tragic automobile accident. On May 12, 2012, China White will be reuniting once again to raise money for the wife and three children (PJ, Amber and Taylor) that Phil left behind.

 Spring Lake Theatre Company’s production of 1776 is an unqualified success taking a great play and giving it the treatment it deserves. As a reviewer, I have to confess 1776 happens to be one of my two favorite musicals. I watch the film every year. I saw the Broadway revival some years back. I even own a copy of the script. So I am predisposed to liking this show, but that is not an automatic pass for the review; after all we’ve seen bad productions of good shows over the years. But in this case, I am pleased to write that the Spring Lake Theatre Company’s production of the show lives up to the expectations I have for this material.
For those unfamiliar with the show, it tells the tale of the struggle by John Adams, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to persuade the rest of the Continental Congress to vote for independence. The historical political intrigue is gripping enough that this would be a great play even without music. That this music happens to run the gamut from fabulously entertaining to hauntingly serious makes the show all the stronger; and it has a lively script that knows how to find laughs in the material while undermining the serious parts of the plot. But as this is a review of Spring Lake’s production, let’s discuss some of the highlights specific to their version.
