The
Story: A masterpiece of a musical, 1776 is a rousing re-creation
of the momentous days from May to July in Philadelphia during which the
Second Continental Congress argued about and voted to adopt the Declaration
of Independence. It is a story filled with mounting tension and triumph,
from John Adam’s opening diatribe to the stunning finale, when the
delegates sign the document and the Liberty Bell rings.
Winner
of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Musical, the New York
Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, and with a movie and a Broadway
revival to its credit, 1776 is heralded as one of the great musicals of
our time. |
