If you haven't seen the shows, its easy to confuse them. All deal with U.S. history.
My history professor knew OF the musicals 1776 and Ragtime. I mentioned The Civil War in class one day, and he thought I spoke of Ragtime (nooo clue why. different era).
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
