1776.000000

Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, 1776 opened to rave reviews in 1969. The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. It’s the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence… if only our founding father can agree to do it! 1776 follows John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson as they attempt to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence. One of the most beautifully crafted musicals ever, 1776 is funny, insightful and compelling.
