The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most
unconventional of Broadway hits. 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.brbr1776
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.brbrThe show features a striking score
by Sherman Edwards, which is modest in its vocal requirements, and a
book by Peter Stone, which is legendary in its craftsmanship. 1776 is
a funny, insightful and compelling drama.nbsp; brbrspan style="font-weight: bold;"1776 Staged Concert Version/spanbrThe MTI Marquee provides a
