Trace, you are a true glutton for punishment! I saw 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, prior to its Broadway opening and, despite the fact there were unquestionably brilliant people working on the show, it was a mess. The two great moments: The Act One Finale, "We Must Have a Waltz" leading into the devastation of the Civil War, and "Duet for One."
