They knew they would make history, but not what history would make of them. Fed up with living under the tyranny of British rule, John Adams attempts to persuade his fellow members of the Continental Congress to vote in favor of American Independence and sign the Declaration. But how much is he willing to compromise in the pursuit of freedom? And to whom does that freedom belong?

Direct from the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University and Roundabout Theatre Company on Broadway, directors Jeffrey L. Page and Diane Paulus reexamine a pivotal moment in American history in a re-imagining of the Tony Award®-winning musical 1776.

Review: 1776 at Kennedy Center
by David Friscic - July 2, 2023


1776 is now being given a triumphantly moving and vigorous radically deconstructed interpretation at the Kennedy Center.

Page and Paulus' Revival of 1776 Offers a New Perspective on The Birth Of A Nation
by Jeffrey Ellis - June 22, 2023

Review: 1776 at Des Moines Performing Arts
by DC Felton - March 16, 2023


In March 0f 2020, Des Moines Performing Arts announced it was bringing the musical '1776' as part of its 2020/2021 Broadway Series. At the time, the production was billed as a pre-Broadway run. What we didn't know at the time was that it would be almost three years before the show was finally able to make it to Des Moines. Going into the opening night performance, I hoped the production would be worth the wait, but I wasn't prepared for the fantastic production I saw on stage.
