American
history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway
musicals. It's the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare
independence...if only our founding fathers can agree to do it!!!
1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin
Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson of
Virginia 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. 1776
puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the
national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often
petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a
fledgling nation.
The show features a striking score by
Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, which is legendary in its
craftsmanship. 1776
is a funny, insightful and compelling musical. Questions? Contact Dean
