1776 The Musical in Concert

PRODUCED BY THE TYBEE POST THEATER

Experience the music, history, and drama behind America's fight for independence in 1776: The Musical in Concert. This special concert presentation focuses on the powerful songs, memorable characters, and compelling story about the birth of our nation 250 years ago.

Set during the summer of 1776, the musical follows the members of the Continental Congress as they argue, negotiate, and ultimately decide whether the American colonies should declare independence from Great Britain.

A concert version places the spotlight on the music and storytelling rather than elaborate sets, costumes, or extended dialogue. Performed with a live orchestra, the show highlights the wit, passion, and emotion of the score while still bringing the personalities of the Founding Fathers to life. A narrator guides the audience through the story, helping connect the moments between songs and introducing the historical figures who shaped the debate over independence.
