“1776” at the Palace
OCT 7-30: American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the people behind the icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and noble and determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2 PM unless otherwise noted.
