1776 the Musical
This celebratory production of 1776 comes to life in the historic setting of Colonial Williamsburg during America’s 250th Independence anniversary weekend. Performed at the intimate Kimball Theatre, the Tony Award–winning musical brings audiences inside the heated debates, humor, and humanity of the Continental Congress as the founders struggle to declare independence.
As the colonies inch toward revolution, fiery patriot John Adams pushes a reluctant Congress toward the momentous decision to adopt the United States Declaration of Independence. With memorable songs, sharp wit, and compelling drama, 1776 captures the courage and compromise behind the birth of a nation.
Presented during the Independence Day 250th-anniversary festivities, this special staging invites audiences to experience the story of America’s founding just steps from where history still lives. Perfect for the holiday weekend, 1776 is both a moving theatrical experience and a tribute to the enduring ideals that shaped the United States.
1776 is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
