"1776" Tony Award Winning Musical
"1776"
Music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and book by Peter Stone
A most striking and gripping musical, "1776" is based on the events surrounding the signing of the declaration of Independence. It dramatizes the efforts of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson 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" is a funny, insightful, and compelling drama with a striking score and legendary book. The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. It premiered on Broadway in 1969, and ran for 1,217 performances. The production was nominated for five Tony Awards and won three, including Best Musical Production.
Directed by David Reynolds
