I played the dickhead - I don't remember his name - one of the three from Delaware... I was 16, being by far the youngest in a company of 30-60 somethings. The courier was played by somebody in their early thirties (even though he looked 35 at best). Even though my audition was one of my best ever and I really wanted the courier (I have since retired from performing), I don't regret not getting the role. I had a blast and there was far less pressure. Granted Lee is a larger role, but you still get to holler SIT DOWN JOHN and I absolutely loved doing that every night. Regardless, my point is, age ain't nothing but a number.

Carpe diem, bustinloose. Obviously, the director had you tapped for Lee from the get-go. Enjoy the experience. Lee is a truly enjoyable role to watch, and you do indeed get to yell "Sit down, John!" I'm sure the class will be there next semester.
Bravo!
Bravo!

You definitely should take the part, if you still can.
I played Rutledge years ago (one of my best experiences on stage ever), and am very familiar with all the roles in 1776.
Count your blessings, sir! You got handed a gem of a part.
Courier = break the audience's heart
Lee = stop the friggin' show! He even has a built-in encore written in for his song. What's not to love?
