Friday, October 7th – Saturday, November 5th, 2016The most fascinating leaders in American history come to life in a musical about the birth of a nation!
A revolution is brewing in the colonies! It’s up to John Adams – the outspoken delegate from Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia – to convince a stubborn congress of British colonists to unite as American patriots, channel their freedom-loving spirit and turn the inevitable war with England into a Declaration of Independence. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determine to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
Funny, insightful and compelling Tony Award-winning Best Musical.
