Since today is Election Day, let's talk about Thomas Jefferson, our Third President.
Ken Howard played him in the original cast of TWO Broadway Musicals.
Please name them.
GOOD Luck, Everybody! :)

EXCELLENT Start, Rath!
However, the question staed the TWO musicals in which Howard played Jefferson.
You're halfway there. . . :)
