Just in time to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence, 1776 celebrates the men behind our fight for independence. It's the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence…if only our founding fathers can agree to do it! This Tony Award-winning musical follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, 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.
