Tony Award Winning

“The great power of this 1776 will stay with you and will resonate on Broadway and across the country.” -- The Boston Globe 

“A spine-tingling production brings critique front and center and infuses the story of the Continental Congress with 20/20 hindsight.” -- Variety 

“This electrifying production is no ordinary history lesson. There’s an infectious buzz in this energetic ride down a familiar path with an extraordinarily talented cast!” -- NPR (WBUR) 

What will it take to get two dozen powerfully passionate, exceedingly complicated, and all-too-human individuals to settle their differences, while they hold the very future of a nation in their hands? 

This Tony Award-winning Best Musical is tuneful, witty, and constantly surprising, especially in this revolutionary new production from directors Jeffrey L. Page (Violet) and Diane Paulus (Waitress) with a cast that reflects multiple representations of race, gender, and ethnicity. You may never think about our country—who we are and why—the same way again.
