1776

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre | 2004 | | © The Oxford Companion to American Theatre 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

1776 (1969), a musical play by Peter Stone (book), Sherman Edwards (music, lyrics). [46th Street Theatre, 1,217 perf.; Tony, NYDCC Awards.] In the spring and summer of 1776, delegates have gathered in Philadelphia to work on a Declaration of Independence. Much of the give‐and‐take is seen through the eyes of the waspish John Adams ( William Daniels), who writes about it to his beloved Abigail ( Virginia Vestoff). Thomas Jefferson ( Ken Howard) and Benjamin Franklin ( Howard Da Silva) also play prominent roles. By the time the Declaration is signed, they and their associates have all had to compromise, particularly on the slave issue, but a new nation is created. Notable songs: Sit Down, John; Momma Look Sharp; Molasses to Rum; He Plays the Violin. This unusual musical relied on the intelligence of its book and score, fine acting, and an elegant mounting to turn a history lesson into engaging musical theatre. It remains popular with amateur and collegiate groups and was successfully revived in New York by the Roundabout Theatre in 1997.
