The Public's 1776

Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: You gotta love musical theater. A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed Les Miz, which is about one of the French Revolutions. Now it's Pittsburgh Public Theater's production of 1776, the Sherman Edwards (music and lyrics) and Peter Stone (book) musical about the American Revolution. Well, really, the crafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Here the fiery John Adams, aided by Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, are pushing the Second Continental Congress to break free from England and declare American sovereignty.
