Our gift to you and Philadelphia as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s birth – the founding fathers come alive in 1776, the classic award-winning Broadway musical. Join John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson as they fight for independence against a deadlocked Continental Congress in a retelling filled with humor, romance, pathos, and nail-biting tension. 1776 is not just a revolutionary musical; it’s a captivating journey of what happened right here in Philadelphia!
