1776 The Musical -

Description

Many people like going to the theater and attending Broadway shows. Broadway productions and musicals can be fun to watch because phenomenal acting, singing, and dancing are all evident in these shows This site is named after our shared love of the Tony Award winning Best Musical of 1969.  Often referred to as the “musical about us”, this production was a lavish telling of the events leading up to the writing of the Declaration of Independence.  With music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and book by Peter Stone, the original 1969 production of 1776 was notable for its humanizing of the Founding fathers.  These were not untouchable God-like figures unable to tell a lie, they were men who were arguing and fighting their way into the creation of a new nation.
