Line 112:
* [[The Alcoholic]]
* [[Drunken Master]]: ''Claims'' that drinking rum helps him.
{{quote|It's a medicinal fact that rum gets a man's heart started in the morning.}}
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]
Line 146 ⟶ 147:
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: he walks in and out a few times but has no dialogue. Then, in comes 'Mama, Look Sharp' and he's one of the most remembered charecters in the play.
== Andrew McNair ==
The Congressional Custodian. Seems to spend most of his time getting rum for Stephen Hopkins (and is glad when he no longer has to). Has strong feelings about what countries should be named.
Line 152 ⟶ 153:
* [[Catchphrase]]: "Suh-''weet'' Jesus!"
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Just like the more famous members of the cast, Andrew McNair was [http://americanhistoryonline.blogspot.com/2008/08/andrew-mcnair-congressional-doorkeeper.html a real person].

== Martha Jefferson (Blythe Danner) ==
Tiny, wasp-waisted wife of Thomas Jefferson. Given how easily (and wittily) she banters with both Franklin and Adams, it's clear she's her husband's intellectual equal. Clever, beautiful, a skilled dancer, and utterly besotted with her husband.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]: She never visited hubby in Philadelphia.
* [[Happily Married]]
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Absolutely miniature in comparison to the six-foot-plus Jefferson.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: well, Two
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: The absolutely gorgeous white gown she wears during "He Plays the Violin".
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Snogs Jefferson long enough to completely forget and completely ignore ever meeting Franklin and Adams until the next day.
