420 S. Sixth St, Springfield, IL 62701
This patriotic musical, 1776, will be performed at the Hoogland in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
With music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, this Tony-Award-winning show recreates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in a deeply human way. Through song, dance, irreverent comedy, and gripping drama, this historically accurate musical brings John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the Second Continental Congress to life in an exciting stage presentation that highlights one of the most critical moments in American history.
Evening performances will be take place July 1st through July 3rd with matinee performances on July 4th and July 5th
