Glendale Centre Theatre presents 1776, Broadway's Tony Award-winning musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It's summer in Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress is deadlocked, unable to produce a formal statement announcing the thirteen states' freedom from British rule. It's up to the argumentative John Adams, the eccentric Ben Franklin, and the brilliant young statesman Thomas Jefferson to to bring forth the resolution that will eventually set the nation free from tyranny. Blending powerful characters and an impeccably crafted script with unforgettable tunes and comedy, 1776 premiered on Broadway in 1969, winning three TonY Awards, including Best Musical.

This company does an amazing job with it's selected productions. Well acted and sung. Performed in the round. Now if we could only get the audience members to let go of their outside world for two hours it would only enhance everyone's theater experience. The texting and talking has no place in a theater.

THIS SHOW WAS TERRIFIC! GREAT ACTING, GREAT SINGING VOICES, BEAUTIFULLY COSTUMED AND EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DIRECTED. THIS COMPANY IS A WELL KNOWN COMMUNITY THEATRE IN GLENDALE, BUT THE QUALITY OF THIS SHOW IS TRULY PROFESSIONAL. NOT MANY MORE PERFORMANCES LEFT, SO SEE IT IF YOU CAN. THE PRICE IS RIGHT TOO!

Good intimate theatre. Solid cast. Music was taped, but not surprising given the size of the venue.

Description

Under the helm of sought after Los Angeles theatre director Todd Nielsen, the Tony Award-winning musical 1776 will be presented at the Glendale Centre Theatre. With music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards, book by Peter Stone, and musical direction by the award-winning Steven Applegate, 1776 premiered on Broadway in 1969 and is based on the events leading up to the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams, disliked by many in Congress, joins Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to bring forward a resolution for independence that will eventually set America free from England's tyranny. Powerful performances and an impeccably crafted script make 1776 as relevant today as it was when first written. Add a memorable score, a spectacular cast of 25… and 1776 delivers a riveting evening of theatre filled with history, humor, heart and romance.  

Regional musical theatre favorites Peter Husmann (as John Adams), John Butz (as Benjamin Franklin) Jeff Drushal (as Thomas Jefferson), and Victoria Strong (as Abigail Adams) lead a stellar cast which also includes: Nathan Armstrong (Robert Livingston), Aldo Benalcazar (Leather Apron), George Champion (John Hancock), Mario DiGregorio (Col. Thomas as McKean), Clay Dzygun (James Wilson), Christopher Gomez (Dr. Lyman Hall), Kyle Kelley (George Read), Michaelia Leigh (Martha Jefferson), Jason Lewis (Dr. Josiah Bartlett), Hisato Masuyama-Ball (Dr. Samuel Chase), Patrick McMahon (Roger Sherman), Danny Michaels (Charles Thomson), Peter Miller (Andrew McNair), Jim Molinaro (Joseph Hewes), Michael Shaughnessy (Rev. John Witherspoon), Scott Strauss (Caesar Rodney), Adam Trent (Lewis Morris), Bryan Vickery (Richard Henry Lee), Andrew Wade (Courier), Jason Webb (John Dickinson), Don Woodruff (Stephen Hopkins), and Joey Zangardi (Edward Rutledge).
