Music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone,
the Tony Award-winning musical 1776 is set in the summer of 1776,
when the nation stands on the brink of declaring independence,
but only if the founders can overcome their differences and unite.
The action follows John Adams of Massachusetts,
Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia
as they strive to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for
independence from British rule by signing the Declaration of Independence.
1776 is a funny, insightful and compelling musical drama with a striking score and legendary book.
