About 1776(musical)
White House Photo Office
First staged on Broadway in 1969, *1776* is a historical musical that traces the tense weeks before the Declaration of Independence is approved and signed. It follows John Adams as he argues, cajoles, and negotiates with fellow delegates, including Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, while politics and personal stakes collide. The show holds a place in New York theater history as a Tony-winning portrait of legislative process set to song. Its sharpest insight is that nation-making often reads like committee work under pressure.
